This was our second time staying at this hotel and we were looking forward to staying here again with our parents but was a little disappointed. The pillows were terrible. So flat they should be considered as blankets. We asked for more pillows and was told there’s 1 extra pillow in the room. Still not enough. So we asked for 2 more for each room and was only given 1. Staff were not as friendly as well. Breakfast was disappointing as well. They always ran out of eggs and sausages and took forever to refill.
