My stay at the hotel was just what I needed, although there were some noise issues with the room being next to two doors. The service was friendly and helpful, but a bit understaffed at times. The location was perfect for my visit and recently updated. The dining experience was decent with room for improvement. Overall, it was below average but served its purpose.

The hotel rooms smelt heavily of damp and were very dated, but the en suite bathroom was modern and immaculately clean. Despite not matching the booking pictures, the room was spacious, and the additional pool and nearby park were great for families.
