Kevin, May 2025
At the time of our stay you could tell that the hotel was old from the outside. But they have clearly spent money on the rooms and toilets. The restaurants were nice but the selection was limited. Especially for children. Also, we had flies at our table while we were eating (lunch and dinner). Breakfast was also limited. Coffee in both the room/cafe/breakfast was bad. Flies at breakfast also.
