Staff are friendly although they operate with a “self-service” reception.
On my two most recent stays (December 2024) There was a lot of party noise from locals nearby.

Comfortable bed and nice comfortable furniture with large open shower. Manager contacted us prior to arrival giving us the option of a refund as there was no power owing to a bad storm the night before.
We decided to go ahead with the booking and power came on soon after we arrived.
