Never again !!
Pros:

Not much to be honest.

Cons:

We arrived at 3pm and the hotel was shut. had to ring for a rep to attend and open.
The front door was then flung open and the rep disappeared for 10 minutes.
Rep not very friendly or helpful.
Room allocated is without doubt the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Considering the hotel was virtually empty and it was our tenth wedding anniversary a larger room should have been allocated to us.
The breakfast is up there with the worst breakfast ever. It was buffet style it was cold and didnt taste nice.

Nice staff, terrible hotel.
Pros:

The staff were fantastic. All of them. Very friendly and helpful.
Parking was fab.

Cons:

The hotel is dated, dirty and full of spiders and spider webs. We were there for a private family function otherwise i would not have stayed. The rooms and hotel were nothing like advertised on their website. The price was waaay to much for this hotel.
