The breakfast was good and the dinner was nice. The staff were really friendly, and my stay was enjoyable. The family room was surprisingly spacious with very comfortable beds. The room had a bathroom and two bedrooms, clean and well stocked.
I couldn't get any hot water in the shower so I had to wash my hair in cold water and not shower.
