Lovely stay, although the games provided are a little worse for wear. Pool table missing a ball, no cue chalk, pinball machine doesn’t work. Just little things that would need to be replaced. The room was nice. Clean. Friendly staff and security. Would stay again however I think it’s a little overpriced for what you get.
