8/10 Good
"The breakfast was simple but sufficient and included hot scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage, so was a good start to the day. The outdoor pool and hot tub were still open and pleasantly warm, a nice surprise for early October! The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were very basic, but the fridge and microwave worked a d were clean. The shower area could have been cleaner, there was mildew around the edges. Blackout curtains would have been really helpful as the lights from the parking lot were very bright."

"Very centrally located with beautiful views. The restaurant does not serve breakfast and the service is a bit slow, so just be prepared. The staff were helpful.
