Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some issues like chips in the skirting boards and dirty grout in the bathroom tiles, but overall, the room was big enough for our family of 4 and the dog, avoiding feeling cramped. The staff managed everything efficiently. The hairdryer turned out to be useless and even emitted smoke, which was concerning.
The hotel was a mixed bag - the rooms, though spacious, were not as impressive as the pictures showed, located conveniently near the lifts. The service was friendly and accommodating, with wheelchair-accessible facilities available. However, the location had its drawbacks with some maintenance issues and high prices. The dining options were decent but lacked consistency. Overall, a decent stay but could use improvements.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room was perfect - clean, comfortable, and the heating just right. The breakfast option was excellent with a wide variety to choose from. I also enjoyed a relaxing time in the spacious spa facilities. However, the price seemed a bit high for the room quality.
