The property was economical, the room was quite spacious and the bath was large, The check in was easy, The hotel uses a very unpleasant disinfectant spray. The room reeked of this, This spray always makes me very ill. However, there was a very efficient extractor fan in the bathroom. We left this on for a few hours whilst we went out and the smell dissipated. I think this spray should be banned.

We found a bug in the bed, not sure if it’s was a bed bug. It was very hard to get a parking spot, so once we had one we felt we could not use our vehicle for fear of not having a parking spot when we returned. The floor of the swimming pool is extremely slippery, I fell and hurt my ankle.
