As above
Pros:

Breakfast was ok, nothing to write home about. Bread was cheap bread. No avocado.

Only saw the 'small writing' later that you can order black pudding, poached egg to order. We were walked around by the waitress too, no mention of ordering items.

Cons:

Moved to another room as the fridge wasn't working.

The NEW room: this fridge wasn't working either.

No blind/net at the window so couldn't let the air in as it had Thick curtains.

No free drinks in the room, as there were the last time I was there 3 weeks ago (only room temp water).

Room was very hot, no fan.

2 Beds too close together.

A no e place to stay, but don't expect 4 star quality
Pros:

The welcome was great, and the young lady who greeted us was very helpful with our enquiries whenever we had them

Cons:

The bar offerd a menu of snacks, when we tried to order, we were told that the kitchen was only making sandwiches...

The bathroom shower tray had black mould in the corners and the water didn't drain away fast enough which almost resulted in flooding the bathroom

Foi ok, so isso
Pros:

Basicamente da localizacao.

Cons:

Me deram um quarto que o ar condicionado nao funcionava. Tive que trocar de quarto. Dentro do hotel e complicado porque tem um elevador que vai ate o segundo andar e outro que fica longe que vai do segundo para o terceiro andar.
Tudo muito confuso.
Cafe da manha acaba as 9 e 30 te obrigando a acordar num horario nao desejavel.

Pros:

Excellent quality food.
Very helpful and friendly Staff.
Spa facilities.

Cons:

Facilities for handicapped people (like myself, using a Walker) not good and need a lot of improvement.
I parked outside the front of the hotel to help with my disability and received a Parking Penalty Notice. I had paid the Hotel for my parking for my stay!
So very unimpressed with the hotel's parking policy, along with their incorrect advice!
