"Everything from staff friendliness, helpfulness, room cleanliness, information and maintenance was superb. The only negative was the fact that there was not a single drawer or shelf space in the wardrobe to store any clothes in, so had to live out of our cases."

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here for 3 nights in a lovely large room. Only down side was lack of air conditioning, there were fans in the room which helped slightly but the hotel cannot control the outside 35C temperature. The hotel was lovely with very friendly staff. We ate in the restaurant on the first night and the menu had plenty of choices. Breakfast was self service with a wide selection of choices available. The hotel was an ideal location for walking (30 mins) or driving into the town centre. We did not have time to use the leisure facilities."
