The rooms was clean but there were not tissues and just one toilet paper roll for 2 people for 2 nights. we had to ask for them. we had dinner there as there was nothing available close by. The food was awful. we asked fish and ships and a pizza. The ships portion was really small and they were half burned. the fish didn't have any flavour. We had the impression that the food that we were served was very low cost frozen food. It would be fair to say that it was the worst food that we have had in a restaurant. breakfast was ok.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you had during your stay with us. We will certainly look into what went wrong on that evening and also look at ways we can improve on the quality and presentation. While you are right in that there is very little close by in terms of restaurants, please feel to approach our team for assistance or alternatives. We hope you will stay with us again

Have stayed here before and booked due to location and cost. My stay was for one week. Room as expected, Bed large and very comfortable, TV large enough, no keys, only swipe key cards, made for easy access, especially when you have your hands full and super friendly staff, Now for the negatives: bathroom floor had not been cleaned as advertised, cleaned the floor with a wipe I had on me. Smokers congregated at the entrance morning & night, so had to walk through when I wanted to enter or leave the hotel. I spoke with the hotel staff about both of these things and had a professional response. I was informed that although the rooms would not be checked daily, there would be a check once that week. This did not happen.
