Our stay was short but perfect for our needs. We had everything we needed and more. Thank you 😊
Pros:

Everything was brilliant it's just the location if you want a holiday stay. It's the perfect place for an event, a one or two night travelling stay, convention or if you need a place when visiting family etc. Convention centres are an under rated place to stay. They are usually super clean, efficient and lots of things to do like pool, gym, walks etc This place didn't disappoint!

Cons:

It was perfect for us and the mothers day breakfast was a delightful bonus.

Convenient overnight stay with delicious breakfast
Pros:

Breakfast was great with lots of options. The room and bed were comfortable. I enjoyed the trees and plants around the building.

Cons:

There were about 20-30 dead ants in the bathroom that looked like maybe they had fallen from the ceiling. It was not a big deal, but a little gross. When I informed the front desk upon checkout, they didn’t apologize, but were more concerned about whether or not the ants were alive.
