Disappointing!!!!
The hotel itself was modern and spacious and the staff were friendly enough but a judo convention of young kids spoilt our stay. That and watching another couple of guests being allowed to sit their dog at the breakfast table on a chair while they feed it ham from the buffet breakfast spoilt the stay.

Just Ok as needs some improvements
The Staff are lovely, but the hotel is slipping and in need of some work (Shower did not function properly, cracks in wall ) the quality of the breakfast has also slipped only one type of yogurt Pineapple but after the 6th or 7th request from guests they actually found a couple of other flavours. To begin with the waiters did not have masks on then suddenly they all put them on which was quite disconcerting. I have stayed here nearly every year for the last 10 years so its a little sad to see the decline in quality
