Great hotel and spa in good location
Pros:

The reception area was nice and clean, friendly staff. Our room was lovely, we had an upgrade to family room so bigger space for us. The pool and spa area was excellent.

Cons:

Then restaurant was closed and only bar food offered which was bit disappointing. But next time we hopefully will try the restaurant.

Warm and welcoming
Pros:

I loved the location of the hotel on the canal it made it very unique to the other hotels I have stayed in before

Cons:

The only complaint I would give this hotel is they need a new lift and key card system as the key kept being blocked which was very annoying going up and down from level 5
