For the special discounted price we got it was ok. I wouldn't want to have paid more than what we did. It definitely didn't live up to the photos on the website. Bathroom facilities were very tired and there were small cockroaches in the shower. Also being a Monday night it was fine I would be concerned about Friday or Saturday night. We were only there 1 night so we survived. Staff were very lovely.
