Room was awkward as kitchen was in spare room so when baby was asleep we couldn’t go in. Overall rooms were fine but the pool was green and couldn’t swim. Staff were very friendly and it was close to everything we needed. There were some questionable characters hanging around a couple of times but didn’t cause us any problems.
