Good value, few improvements needed.

Breakfast choice was good, service was great. Good value stay for the 3 nights. Cleanliness could be improved. The bedding wasn't changed, even though it visibly needed to be. Given a larger room due to having a travel cot. Travel cot provided was great standard. Overall, happy with the stay.

We had a very pleasant stay. The room was very clean and the hotel was beautiful. The welcome was outstanding and all hotel staff were extremely helpful.

Paul

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
If you can avoid this hotel, I'd recommend you did, we changed rooms because the first one was tiny plus the base of the bed was filthy, second room bigger but bed was like something that came off Noahs Ark, talk about passion killer, the bed squeaked just by looking at it, back broke as it was so uncomfortable, meal was horrible. We had booked for 2 nights but left after the first, when checking out noone wanted to know why we were leaving a day early,honestly stay clear.
