comfy bedsbuffet restaurantbasic roomscold shower
the rooms are spacious and they have comfy beds, you know. every few days, the staff were round asking if we needed anything. they even changed bedding and towels for us. the buffet restaurant was amazing, and i have had the best food i have in a buffet for years.
the rooms are basic, yes. the shower in my room was not in a separate bathroom, it was at the doorway of the room. the shower also leaked and was cold, it was annoying. there was very rarely anyone at reception to report this, so i didnt.
