The spacious area next to the swimming pool was a good place to have conversations. It was a bit disappointing, but the bar didn't work out, so I couldn't buy a drink. It was nice because it was clean and spacious.

Showering was a nightmare not even any soap for the shower and the dispensers on the wall were empty. Then had to put a manky shower mat in the bath and stick it down to stand on. Very budget there was hair in my bed. Even the toilet button was sticky dirty. Never never again. The check in man was great.

Room is okay. Not friendly for family with young kids/ infants/toddlers. They don’t even have an oven to heat up the food for kids nor a bread toast and charge hefty money for a night stay. The only staff we interacted was the reception lady and she was okay. tiny and congested bathroom
