Hotel website Description and pictures does not match up with the experience. We booked a Superior room and ended up in a shabby quiet dirty room with cracked wallpaper stained walls and furnitures clearly visible dust on panels and bedside tables. No interior decoration besides an outdated bed panel Poorly painted walls and ceiling mould in the bathroom dirty carpet and so on. Only good thing about the room was the bed. It looked quite new and was comfortable to sleep in.

Good spot. Room was confusing to find but that could be just me. Pool facilities were wonderful. We did have to evacuate at midnight do to someone having a shower with the doors closed which triggered the fire alarm? Not sure if this is a regular occurrence.

Seems to be a struggling hotel. Double bed was two singles pushed together. and not comfortable Heater in bathroom and hall were permanently on despite hot weather. General decor is tired and reception staff not very engaging although they send too many messages through Expedia. The fire alarm going off repeatedly after midnight was not good. The restaurant was entirely respectable with good service and decent food. Not that busy even in July. The gym and pool are good too.
