Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were top-notch with a lovely tea and beautiful fruit cake waiting for me, and the staff was brilliant. The facilities, especially the sports complex, were terrific, and I could see why most of the group put on some weight - the food was just that good!
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I paid for didn't live up to expectations; it was warm with a broken air conditioning unit. Despite this, the service I received was top-notch, with some exceptionally friendly staff going out of their way to make me feel welcome. The location was convenient for exploring the town center, although some areas needed more attention. Dining was a mixed experience, with plenty of options but slightly underwhelming. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory but not exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was incredible! The rooms were first class, the staff brilliant, and the facilities, especially the sports complex, were terrific. The view of the river from my room was fantastic, and the balcony was a bonus. Most of our group put on weight because the food was so good.
