food qualityunexpected costs
the food was a real letdown! i booked this place partially for the meals, but the quality was just not there. also, there was a charge to use the swimming pool. that should have been included in the price. it's frustrating to have these kinds of unexpected costs pop up.

ample drawersgood breakfastfriendly staffearly closure
the room was a standard double room. i found it to be an adequate size with plenty of drawer space. breakfast was quite good too, with a decent variety of options. the staff were friendly and worked diligently, even with the recent heat.
The bar closed earlier than expected. I was told it would close at 23:00 but it closed at 22:15 without any prior notice. this early closure slightly impacted the evening's enjoyment.
