The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It offered a plentiful selection that really set me up for the day. I also really liked that luggage storage was available after checkout. This allowed me to squeeze in a bit more shopping.
I upgraded to a balcony room, which cost EXTRA. Unfortunately, it was directly above the function rooms, and the thump of the music was very noticeable. I wasn't warned about this beforehand, and it did detract from the relaxation.

The hotel provided free ice cream for kids, I felt it. The pool table was great, and I really appreciated the huge TV to watch football. I could store my mountain bikes at the hotel. Good parking and charging points were available for electric cars close by.
The showers in the health club need fixing. One was freezing, and the other felt too hot.
