The hotel is nice…we found the spa, swimming pool area nice…. The rooms are dated. Pleasant enough but dated. Some of the staff were not the most professional and a bit curt. Overall a nice enough hotel if not a bit dated.

The hotel is very attractive and in a good setting convenient for the motorway network. The rooms are nice . The staff could have been a bit more friendly we found them quite formal. We received conflicting information about the cost and availability of some services. For example, some of us were told that there was no facility to store luggage, others had their luggage stored without a problem.

The room was spacious, however dirty and upon entry I found it smelled really bad, I learned the reason for this when I went in the bathroom. Additionally after the wedding I was attending I couldn’t renter my room, at first the key was replace and after this happened twice, the receptionist told me she would see what the problem was and return. I waited in the bar area until she said it was the battery for the electronic lock. I waited until it was fixed which was roughly between 1-2am. She offered to give me a free drink at the bar, but I wanted to go to bed so declined. The breakfast wasn’t great but note I am vegetarian.
