average stay, some issues observed

bathroom mould non-functional fan
the staff were helpful with drying our gear after a wet day.
the room smelled strongly of mould , likely due to a non-functional fan. the bathroom ceiling had extensive mould. i would have expected better for the price I paid.

Upon arrival, i was warmly greeted and swiftly checked into my room.. it was a well-sized triple room, bigger than i had anticipated.. the on-site dining was a highlight.
