10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean. The staff were do helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking on site, rooms were nice and well appointed. The pool had lots of different areas - good for kids as it is shallow. Breakfast was OK - standard continental. Would have been disappointed if we had paid $25 for it - it was included with our stay. Overall oyr stay was fantastic value for money."
