Enjoyed our stay, very clean and comfy room with nice shower. Friendly and efficient staff. Very good buffet breakfast with lots of choices. Only negative is expensive wine at the bar
1-night trip

8/10

Good comfy stay with excellent facilities. Aspect restaurant as only dining option on site was a bit too posh for liking. Buildings look a bit old and tired but still in good condition. Am waiting for partial refund due to check out 2 days early so will see if get it. Walking directions from station were not provided and no directions on site so not easy to find hotel for initial check in.

Great location and good breakfast. However, hotel overall extremely dated and things look dirty. The pool area was extremely dirty looking and the Spa pool was not on so extremely disappointing. None of these would be major issues if it were not for the price you pay. One of the things we paid to go there for was a spa pool. The bed was comfy enough. There are only two usable sockets for plugs in room as others are the special lamp sockets so not great if have more than two things to be plugged in at once.
