Nice friendly staff. The public areas are kept spotless clean but the room cleaning is not as good as I expected. The bed was very comfortable but we asked for a double bed and got 2 singles pushed together. Food is good but a little repetitive as the menu seems very limited. On the whole a nice hotel, but starting to look a little dated.

The hotel offers decent value. Decent beds, good location. However, the hotel is tired. Bad and repetitive food. Inadequate facilities (the spa needs to be removed). But the staff are excellent. Thank you

Fabulous hotel, location, staff, food accessible between breakfast, lunch and diner, water refill so truly all inclusive that you don't have to spend an extra penny.
