Great stay and highly recommend, would return, just providing constructive criticism.
Pros:

The food, pool and gym is pretty good.

Cons:

Coffee paid and free, bedroom layout for us was tricky, moving beds to open cupboard. Power point in each room could be two each room to be extra accommodating.

Cold. greasy food and lack of security. Unhelpful staff.
Pros:

I did not like lots of scruffy looking people with minimal clothing wandering around. Room was ordinary with too small fridge and no microwave. Food was awful- cold and greasy. Well below acceptable standard. I stayed with a group of people and we were very disappointed and left early. We did not get a refund despite explaining to manager of substandard accom and food and feeling of being unsafe. Parking area was open to wanderers and no security people ever seen.

Cons:

Everything was bad.

It was very comfortable. I would like to go back again.
Pros:

The location of the property is very good and convenient. The property is modern and luxurious. The restaurant has great food.

Cons:

The wifi didn't work very well. The reception desk takes credit cards but you cannot just tap. You need to have a pin which isn't always convenient.

Great place to stay for a comfortable quiet night, wifi needs to be improved. Breakfast great.
Pros:

Nice hotel comfortable bed, quiet, good shower good breakfast

Cons:

Wifi was poor kept dropping out in my room and was very slow, even just for basic emails. Another connection worked better in the restaurant but wouldn’t connect at all in my room.
Evening meal in the restaurant wasn’t great, big portions, but not great quality.
