Rooms were ok but they had a really strong smell of mould. Building surrounds could use some love to, as the outside court yard was not suitable for the kids to run around in

Rat droppings scattered along the walkway to the room. Locked out of the room twice - once outside office hours - because of the “weather”… Continental breakfast included in room fee. No food in the bains (empty/clean) and no staff to speak to get breakfast. Ended up spending another $40 eating breakfast out.
