Liked: Cleanliness
The gym as it was advertised contained only one running machine, a rower, some weights and a broken bike. However the room it was in was lovely! So under used. The rooms were nice and the beds comfy but the walls are paper thin and the workmen who visit it use language which would make a sailor blush so please be aware of taking children. Otherwise nice enough, pleasant and helpful staff and the beds were firm. Also the windows opened properly. I have not seen that in a while. Breakfast was great!

Comfortable Stay.

Hotel is perfectly adequate for a short stay. Clean, comfortable and staff are helpful. Unfortunately mobile reception is poor if you are in a lower level room.
