Whilst location was good, and parking was very easy. Very disappointed with our stay, stayed in a room by the pool with guests using it even at midnight/1AM both nights. One guest even pressed the emergency button making a huge noise and waking up multiple rooms. Additionally, no proper blinds on the doors meaning light came in and others could see into your room. Room was nice and clean but unfortunately wouldn’t stay again.
