Older building but ok in general. The bed was cozy and we slept well but a little noisy. We were there over a weekend. The restaurant was lovely and staff friendly and happy to help. I would recommend it.

Slightly disappointed
Room was basic and awkward to get to. This was quite surprising considering how nice the lobby and restaurant/bar are. Shower in bathroom was dreadful. I found the changing rooms/showers at the pool weren’t very clean and quite dated.
