    The room was what I expected it to be. I arrived too early to check in, they minded my luggage. while I went and did what I came to Runaway Bay to do. I arrived back way after the reception hours, but the manager was still there to check me in.

    The room is tidy and a reasonable size. Curtains are excellent blocking light and keeping privacy. I enjoyed the rooms spa pool. I really like this place as it is nice and close to where my friend lives which is why I was visiting.
