Nice location but definitely not refurbished double room with cracks and holes in the walls and slight mold.for what it was should be around 75 pounds a night. Breakfast was ok.would i go back ? No
The room was nice (we upgraded for £10 per night to a super king bed) but we had very little milk and when we asked for more they were a bit reluctant to give more than 4 milk pods (2needed per cup of tea/coffee).
When we arrived we were informed that to park in the hotel car park would cost us £9 per day - so we had no option really but to pay. Also if we wanted air conditioning- the room was hot - we would again have to pay £10 per day. If you hadn’t brought your own towels you were not allowed to take the hotel towels to the swimming pool and again had the option to buy for £10 a towel for that purpose.
No if I’m honest would not stay there again.
Although going though some refurbishment the property feels tired and stuck in a different era. Room was, once we found it, clean and spacious, only issue the strong smell coming from the bathroom which was resolved quickly by running the taps for a while.
