The food was good and priced reasonably. I also got to use the swimming pool. It was nice. Breakfast was also good, and it had a varied selection..
The bedrooms are dull and dated, though they are clean. I was traveling with family members with disabilities. We had an over-bath shower, but there was no fridge in the bedroom.
