Adequate Stay Overall

good-sized tvteacoffeevery good spavile coffeecheap bacondark corner
The room included a good-sized TV, tea, and coffee facilities. I found ample soap, body wash, and enough toilet rolls in the modern, clean bathroom. The spa facilities impressed me. The pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and plunge shower were first class.
The breakfast coffee came from a machine and tasted vile. The bacon was cheap, flabby, and nasty. I found the air-conditioning controller in a dark corner and had to use my phone's light to operate it

Staff said there were no bathrobes left for the spa. They mentioned bathrobes are reserved for customers who book treatments. the steam room was also out of order, a condition noted in previous reviews.
