8/10 Good
"The staff was very helpful and breakfast was good. The room was ok, but we thought the bathroom lacked privacy due to the strange classdoor and lack of door to the bathroom itself - good only if you occupy the room alone. We were not able to watch tv, the remote did not function some of the time."
