The staff at reception were friendly and efficient. They gave clear directions to my room. the room temperature was perfect. I found it super clean. i appreciated the access to the pool and spa. It added to my relaxation. free parking was available, a definite bonus!
the shower control in my room was damaged. it made adjusting the water temperature difficult. i also noticed water escaping from the hose attachment, a maintenance issue that needs addressing.

underwhelming stay

poor soundproofingunreliable internet
i was disappointed. the room lacked proper soundproofing. i could clearly hear noise from adjacent rooms and the hallway. this made it difficult to relax. also, the promised high-speed internet was slow and unreliable. i struggled to complete work tasks, it was frustrating.

the staff was mostly ok, i guess. the gym man was helpful in retreiving my lost phone from the pool.
The room i had was not good. the toilet seemed wobbly. I don't think it was secured properly. the shower divide also seemed like it could fall any second. and the furniture itself looked old. it really was a shame.

I enjoyed the really good breakfast. It had many options to choose from (a real treat!). The breakfast included both hot food and continental options. There was also a variety of drinks available.
The card machine in the bar seemed temperamental. The barman acted like i was doing something wrong the whole time! I found this a bit annoying. It could be addressed with better equipment.
