There is no pool so that should be advertised. Also thought it odd they wanted to charge extra per person for the room. The room slept 4 and there were 3 of us. I’ve never had a hotel do that. Maybe just me.

Breakfast wasn’t even worth having and the room wasn’t as clean as I think I should have been but staff was kind and the hotel was quiet.
