only ok, wouldnt really recommend. Way to expensive for what it is.
Pros:

room was clean & at least you could open the window in the room to let in fresh air
Outside beer garden was nicely done.
Lobby was nicely decorated and plenty of seating.

Cons:

bathroom very small & no ventilation in bathroom, no fan or anything to clear mirrors. No lights for bathroom mirror etc
had to ask for cups & toilet roll after room clean on first morning, the dirty cups had been left in our room
Dinner & drinks very expensive £25 for a main is dear. kept having to send back drinks as they went dead before we even got back to the table.....
leisure centre very dated and in need of upgrade. even wanted to charge for outside hot tub, never stayed anywhere before where you had to pay for hot tub or jacuzzi..... it should have been included in cost of stay as it was expensive enough to stay
you'd nearly pass out in the toilets for the bar/restaurant as the radiators were on full blast.
Needs to be a bit of a tidy up done in the grounds coming up to the hotel from the bottom carpark.

Nichts auszusetzen
