Amazing staff! They are close to refurbishing some rooms and areas in the hotel that is needed, but the lobby is stunning, bar and dining room area great. 10/10 to the staff!
Great staff. Good food. Large free car park. Leisure facilities. Lovely lounge area.
- cramped, dated bedroom. No A/C, fridge/minibar/bottled water in room. Large hotel, can be a bit noisy late into the night.
