The overall experience was mixed. Location was good. Staff was very nice. Room was pretty run down. Very hot-Air didn't work very well. After going to reception to see what they could do to help, they offered a fan, which was appreciated , but was a very uncomfortable night sleep. Rug in room seemed to be coming up in places.

Check in was great - got to our room and there was still leftover food in the fridge, light burnt out in the bathroom, body wash broken off the wall in the shower, tv remote only worked on 1 tv. Nighttime was quiet, went for breakfast the next morning - cooking staff made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Pool was too cold to even swim for 10 minutes.
