Staff were amazing from the moment we arrived, always greeted with a smile. We stayed 9 nights and would definitely stay again. Breakfast in the mornings was such a good start to the day, so much to choose from even gf section. The staff at breakfast were so friendly and worked so hard to keep everything well stocked. The restaurant onsite for lunch or dinner was a bonus too. The meals we had from there were also delicious. Location is perfect right by the train/tram station. Thank you for a wonderful stay ⭐️
