The room was clean with a wonderful bathroom. The gym was well equipped with machines working. I really enjoyed the spa facilities, including the pool, hydrotherapy pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. I found plenty of showers and changing room lockers available. I was really impressed with the cleanliness!
The chlorine level in the whirlpool and jacuzzi was a bit strong. My eyes and throat felt a slight burn.

A Decent Hotel Experience

helpful staffcomfortable bedground floorexpensive bill
The staff were helpful at all times. They ensured my needs were met. The room was comfortable with a nice bed, and I enjoyed breakfast. The staff provided really good service.
I had an issue with the stairs though I had requested a ground floor room. The bar bill was expensive. The Baileys cost more than expected.

The gym had a lot of equipment, including treadmills! I also enjoyed the spacious bathroom in my room. It included two separate sinks. The staff was friendly and very efficient during breakfast. They ensured my coffee cup was always full, I really loved it
The jacuzzi water wasn't warm enough. I felt cold after only a few minutes in it. The jacuzzi also seemed over-chlorinated. There were bubbles everywhere! This made my eyes sting, and it was unpleasant

Excellent Stay in Executive Room

large roomcomfortable bedwalk-in showerexecutive room
The reservation desk recommended room 32, an executive room. The room was large. It was decorated in an Indian style. The bed was a super king size and comfortable (I slept very well). The bathroom had a walk-in shower.
The gym was a bit crowded during peak hours.
