Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
Check in was exceptional - we didn’t take the breakfast option as we had an early flight to catch so opted to skip it. The room was lovely clean & spacious / we were celebrating our anniversary and had the surprise of a lovely Xmas duck to keep. It really was a lovely stay / we enjoyed the spa facility ...

This is an excellent property to stay at. It is a first class resort. The staff are excellent,resturant superb, and ground beautiful. The only mino down side is that the hotel is large and guest seem to get lost in the maze of hallways.
