10/10 Excellent
"Our room was very clean but the bathroom had clear signs of wear and tear - tissue boxes were stained with rust. All in all everything else was great. We used the pool, jacuzzi. steam room and sauna which was an added bonus especially on a stormy day. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel 💯"
