Decent Stay with Some Issues

bland tomato sauce tasteless cocktail

The room size was good and there were enough hangers for clothes.

The food was disappointing. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, but it tasted of nothing. The bland tomato sauce tasted like it came from a jar (I could have made it better at home). the prawn cocktail was tasteless. I would not eat here.
