For being close to an A road, was lovely and quiet and the curtains in the room really made the room dark when sleeping. Wasn’t the normal constant banging of other hotel doors shutting all night either, nice and quiet

Spacious room with good AC. Food was average. Scramle eggs not edible. Bathroom door handle broken with screws showing. It was temporarily fixed after informing receptionist. Please note that there is NO indoor or outdoor pool at the hotel as advertised. Children were very disappointed as this hotel was specifically chosen because of the pool.

Hotel was fine, staff were friendly and helpful. I gave an average review as I was disappointed that your website states that they have a swimming pool and this is the reason I booked this hotel over others. I was informed by the friendly staff that they do not have a pool but there is one locally that can be used for a fee. So a normal swimming pool!!! Very disappointed and has me questioning what else is incorrect on your site when I book
