We loved the spa, but felt that guests should have access throughout the day. The rooms were clean, I feel the property would look much better in warmer colours as opposed to the great black and white theme they have. Lovely hotel, great location, fabulous pool. It isn’t value for money though as for the kind of price paid we would’ve expected the facilities to be a bit better and things like breakfast being included. We had a room with twin beds on request and the beds were very unstable, they felt flimsy and we thought shouldn’t belong in a hotel of this stature. Would love to be back though as it has its conveniences but would wait for a deal.

Not family friendly

Nice hotel but not at all family friendly. That wouldn’t be an issue if they warned you but they don’t - we got to the pool with the kids in their costumes ready to be told it’s 16+ only. The hotels.com listing just says “pool” not “pool for adults only” - misleading advertising

At check-in according to website they had family friendly laundry and we even contacted them two days prior to confirm and they never hat back to us and at check-in they do not offer. Only very expensive service. 10 pounds per T-shirt so adds up. Then they put us in handicap room which I do not like taking it away from someone who may need it and to top it off when we showered water ran all over the floor so we had to arrange each night for Extra towels to create a dam. Very disappointing. I asked for different room and never received one. I am starting to feel room booked via Expedia are not treated as well. Given the cost of the hotel we were treated like second class citizens. One shining note was the spa. Take advantage as it was amazing but could not erase all the other issues.
