Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
A great welcome and helpful on arrival by Magda. Ean was so hard working and goes the full mile to be helpful in all things. The room 104 needs to be looked at very sparse and in need of decoration the large crack in the coving and the peealing wall were sad to see. Some capital needs to be invested in the building, but the staff made it a wonderful stay. They certainly know how to put on a function. and first class service. It's a pitty the owners don't seem to suport this wonderful team
