Went for two nights. Room was ok. TV was left on and remote didn't work at all. We had to ask about 4 times for bath towels. Also key card apparently get erased when closed to the phone which is ok but someone could tell us earlier to save me 5 trips to reception and 5th time lady seem very annoyed about it. Breakfast were just mediocre as everything was cold, not even warm, cold. And if you are vegetarian I hope you like boxed cereal. But building was very nice, warm with loads of characters. Leisure centre was excellent, nice pool, sauna and steam room with possibility to play squash or table tennis. Diner was tasty and reasonable priced as well. Would we rush back? Probably not. Would we recommend? Hmmm...
