The family room WAS enormous. I found both dinner and breakfast food to be fantastic. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was wonderful.

I found it a little busy to find a parking spot right outside the hotel.

the leisure facilities were good, offering a pool and sauna.

I was disappointed by a lack of attention to detail. the tv in my room did not work, and when i reported this, no one came to fix it (i asked twice). i also found the staff at the front desk not very warm. They seemed quite dismissive.
