helpful staff clean pool sunny patio
the check-in was smooth and the staff were helpful with directions to local attractions. i found the indoor pool clean and well kept, perfect for a relaxing swim. i appreciated the sunny patio for enjoying a pre-dinner drink and soaking up the afternoon sun. the hotel provided professional entertainment including comedy and singers after the bingo and quiz.
i noticed the room could have benefited from a small refrigerator to keep drinks and snacks cool.
