Nice hotel but……

The hotel was nice, comfortable and an ideal location, however was really disappointed that the outdoor pool was closed and we hadn’t been informed. We had chosen this hotel BECAUSE it had an outdoor pool, and may have chosen elsewhere if we had known.

I liked the room. It was clean. What I didn’t like was the dog barking at night next door. Then on Friday morning, there was consruction early in the morning next door. Very annoying. If you knew you are having construction done, why book a room right near tge site. 😳
