6/10 Good

Rooms fine. No hot water the first morning which was frustrating. Also room cleaning arrived around 15.00 (after we were back) despite us requesting at 9am. Buffet dinner had good choice but was overpriced for a buffet.

This was a down at the heels place with a distinct odor, few options for meals, clueless staff who were unable to give any information about what to do and where to go. Not worth the upgrade. Better service in town from visitors center. One day enough and study beforehand
