delicious breakfastclean dining roomrainfall shower
i found the breakfast delicious, they had a wonderful mango juice option. the dining room was kept clean! staff cleared tables quickly and ensured everything was well stocked. i liked the large shower with its rainfall option and the separate bath.
the fitted sheet kept bunching up and coming off, this revealed the mattress underneath.

uneven experience at lochside
worn carpetweak pressure
The room was somewhat tired. the carpet had visible wear, and the walls could use a fresh coat of paint. i also encountered a problem with the shower. The water pressure was noticeably weak. this made it difficult to shower.
