Reasonable hotel for the cost.

We were put in an accessible room which wasnt great (and didnt seem that accessible if you really needed it). But all the staff at reception and in the restaurant were really friendly and helpful. Sadly didnt get the chance to use the spa etc.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The condition of the changing rooms and bathrooms near the swimming pool and gym was unacceptable. Towels were left all over the floor, there was no shampoo or soap in the shower area, and empty water bottles were scattered around. The space looked completely neglected. Pool water was flowing around the edges, making the area slippery and unsafe. Additionally, the toilet flush in the my room was not working properly. Overall, the cleanliness and maintenance in this part of the facility were very poor.
