A truly enjoyable time was spent here. The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was well equipped and clean. The shower was good and always warm. The pool was so nice to swim in and the entertainment was very enjoyable. But the live musicians were more enjoyable than hearing backing tracks !

Entertainment is same old stuff, great if you into Bingo and Quizes, everyday. I think the management need to move with the times and keep in touch with what’s happening in other establishments. Limited food options. We frequented other establishments for meals and entertainment in the evenings. The lounge area seems underutilized with revenue opportunities.
