friendly staffdated roomaverage food
The staff were friendly enough and tried to be helpful. That's something at least.
The room was a letdown. It felt dated, not at all like the photos online, there was a strange smell, i think maybe damp. also, the food was average. Nothing special, certainly not worth the prices they charge. i definitely had higher expectations.
