Room was ordinary, shower over spa bath was quite high to step into and therefore a falls risk. The place felt as if it needed a major upgrade. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Room provided the basics, bit dark in general and no windows other than the door to the outdoor area, bit gloomy. Otherwise one of the comfiest beds Ive slept in for a hotel room and spa bath was awesome. The sauna, pools and spa tubs are also a treat.
