8/10 Good
"Rooms were clean but dated. I stayed there over 10 years ago and pretty sure they are identical. Staff were amazing, built good rapore and were there when I needed them. Liked the breakfast was sad not to be able to take advantage of it on day 2 though as we had to leave for the airport before 6am when it started."
