Location.

Out of your control I know, but the noise from the Italian Festival across the street was simply too loud / too much!

Loved the location, easy parking on site. The staff were wonderful, most helpful.

The room is old and tired, the shower and taps leaked, we did advise reception.

Loved it

9.0

Location was great, the room was spacious and very comfortable. Loved the multiple toilets. We were in the 3 bedroom and there were 3 toilets which was amazing.

The air-conditioning was a bit up and down but overall did not affect our stay and it would be good to have smart TV's to allow watching of own streaming services.
