Kids had fun. Pretty underwhelming stay. Bathroom mouldy, overall room/hotel needs an update. Comfy beds. Resturant very disappointing, wouldn't go again. Thought Resturant had good potential but poor atmosphere, not worth the price of meals. Mistakes made on orders, service staff accommodating and apologetic, comped some of order.
