No information given on check in with regard to using the spa, check in time given as 4 was actually 3. No info given that couldn't use the spa after check out so very limited use and then once we got in the pool was cold the pool area was freezing and the steam room was broken. Save your money for a nicer hotel next door I won't be booking here in the future.

Check in staff really nice, pool staff evening and morning different people and both more like door bouncers than customer service providers. If they don't want kids in the pool being kids don't let kids in at all, but don't spend the time shouting and making issues for them. Rooms in the new part of the hotel were the thinest walls of any hotel ever stayed in. Loud music being played on 1 side from 530am and on the other what can only have been the other half of the party. Add the circus in town and the bus stop under the window made for 2 hours sleep all night, for an 8 year old and their dad. Bed sheet also had rip in it exposing the mattress so lay on top. Bad time had all round. Hotel main areas nice though and plenty of parking

Lovely stay, excellent customer service great facilities. Went to the bar bought 2 coctails 2 for 10 great selection of drinks. Friendly staff. Room was clean cant fault the cleanliness had been upgraded to a family room spacious 2 double beds. Could do with some TLC but doesnt effect your stay at all.
