Solid Stay

clean bed easy access quick resolution varied performance

I found the room spacious enough, with a large, clean bed. The staff were helpful. They resolved a minor issue quickly. The hotel's location allowed easy access to local attractions. The evening entertainment was a high point with varied performances.

The hallway carpets showed noticeable wear and could use updating.

The hotel features a cabaret every evening, though soundproofing might be a concern in rooms. I think. this is due to the configuration of the premises.

a satisfactory stay

christmas decorations festive music delicious food room temperature extra fan broken sleep

i enjoyed the christmas decorations. there were many christmas trees, a detail i noticed immediately. the music in the dining rooms was festive. the chef prepared delicious food daily.

i had some issues regarding the room's temperature. the room was unbearably hot, a problem i raised with reception several times. i received an extra fan, though it didn't fully resolve the issue. broken sleep resulted from the noise of the fans at full speed.

Second good visit

second visit beautiful room tea selection

This marked our return visit this year. We found ourselves as impressed as our initial experience. The beautiful room was immaculate and well-appointed with a lovely tea and coffee selection. The 24-hour bar let us enjoy the town and still have a nightcap.

I suggest adding a mini-fridge to the rooms. I would even accept an option to purchase it as an extra.

The premier double room was immaculate and spacious. i loved the modern bathroom. It included a great shower! the staff are very friendly and helpful.

The noise from the entertainment lounge continued past midnight. This made it hard to fall asleep! squeaky floorboards above my room worsened the sound. i wish there was better sound insulation.
