Wouldn’t recommend

Breakfast had day old donuts coffee and stale bagels. The beds were hard there’s wood missing off most furniture and the bedding was stained and had cigarette burns. The room itself was cleanish but it’s pretty dingy and the pool was completely cloudy.

Overall experience was good, but it was clear that the bare minimum amount of effort and expense was used to make the place functional. Staff was generally pleasant but constantly changing to different people, so no continuity.
