Nice and spacious. Great for kids/teenagers

The amenities like pool, pool table and table tennis were an absolute plus to keep them enter. The only negative comments I have are the beds and the general condition. The bed mattresses are way too hard, not comfortable at all at least for us. The property is dated but everything was functional. The location is great for all the excursions we planned and executed. To sum it up, if your expectations are not too high it is worthwhile to stay there.
