Love this hotel

Amazing stay as always. Welcoming reception staff on arrival. Wished our son a happy birthday. Clean room and nice touch having bathrobes for all the family. Spa facilities great and very clean. We had free cupcakes delivered to the room for my son’s birthday which was a nice touch. Good selection of food at breakfast. We will definitely be back.

2/10 Poor

Dangerously hot for dog

Room was dangerously hot for my dog with no way of cooling it down. The windows barely opened and the fan supplied just blew the warm air around. The room was small for a deluxe and there was nothing luxurious about it. No caffeinated coffee provided, only decaf. Cleanliness was also an issue with the bathroom having several hairs on the toilet and bath and the bedroom fixtures were very dusty. No separate shower only shower over bath tub which was not what I expected in the deluxe room.
