Mixed feelings about my stay
suitable locationfreezing poolrude staff
The location proved suitable for my plans. I could easily reach the destinations I needed.
The pool was FREEZING. The hot tub was also out of order. Breakfast service lacked alternative milk options. The staff's attitude came across as RUDE.
