the room and the staff who cleaned the room were great. The room was done every day :) the only thing i didnt like was the hot mineral pool. I was there 4 days and on the first day I went to look there were two dirty cigarette butts on the floor and I saw algae on the floor of the mineral pool. On my last day, the cigarette butts were still there which was not a good look. I never used the pool at all but I would have done so if it had looked clean

The room is sort of dirty. We found a dead cockroach, and my husband got bitten by an ant which disturbed his sleep a lot. The toilet is super old. But the room is very spacious and the bed is very big.

The room was in good condition and staff were very helpful. Only suggestion is that there should be a grab rail in the shower as the metal floor can get slippery and maybe not safe especially for older people.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room felt outdated and had crums in the couches. The photos seemed like they where from when it first opened so wear and tear didnt show until you arrived there. The lawns where only mowed by the trampoline and BBQ but left over grown (knee height) by the swings and in all the garden beds weeds where growing & on your way to the pool grass was really overgrown which made you question if your going the right way. The Pool room itself was ok, but pool maintenance could be better. Green goo on the sides and floor (say geothermic pool but will have to question that cause it didnt feel or smell like one). Staff where lovely though & beds were comfy.

Overall it was good, but lacked basic things like small lamps for side tables. Wifi code didn’t work and office was closed early so couldn’t get a solution. The shower was in desperate need of replacing along with the lino in bathroom….would make it hygienic. Bed was like a rock. Everything else was really clean.
