Angela in the dining room was particularly attentive. She anticipated every need. Breakfast offered MANY options, including a cooked-to-order service and a wide selection of fresh fruit. I also appreciated the super clean cleanliness of the leisure center. The staff maintained the pool area WELL.
The shower made a loud noise whenever someone nearby used hot water, which did wake me up early one morning.

i really enjoyed the plentiful, tasty breakfast cooked to order. the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the location made it easy to walk to shops and meals. i found the room spacious and the bed quite comfortable. the bathroom was very clean, stocked with beautiful voya products.
i noticed the hotel is on a noisy street. when the windows are open, it does cause a bit of an issue. perhaps better soundproofing could improve the guest experience.
