8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay, and our refurbished room looked nice. BUT - It was not finished and some of the finish was poor. Once you noticed 2-3 things you couldn't help but noticing more. For Example -Paint splashes on towel rails and on walls. Bedside lamps that you could not plug in, missing curtains (Vis a vis Trying to get a 3yr old to sleep in a sunlit room). Blinds with closers missing. Draw that would not open because probably wet paint had sealed it shut etc.... Room needed attention to detail - Not bad; Just 'Not Finished'. Everything worked that needed to work however. Grounds were more 'Motor Camp than Motel with alot of maintenance required. Owners need to do a bit more work to truely drag it out of the 80's. On a positive note, this would be a good place for families as it has a good central playground. Our daughter loved the trampoline.
