Only thing that was glaring would be the wifi data limit of 30 mb per connection and TV Freeview wasn’t working. Watching any OTT or streaming content was constrained coz of this 1990 style data limit.

Low rating as we didn’t stay here, changed our minds. Drove in and straight out and took a hit on the cost. Looked run down and further out from town/lake than we wanted. We went to the wonderful Belvedere apartments instead which was well worth it.
