This place has changed for the worse.
Cons:

Very disappointed. We stayed a year ago and had excellent food. No evening meal available on Sunday and an appallingly poor continental breakfast. No cooked option any more.

It was convenient as the location was ideal but wouldn’t use it again
Pros:

We expected the option to have a cooked breakfast but that option was not available so we felt the price for our stay should have reflected that.

Cons:

The toilet seat was broken and there was a nasty looking stain on the carpet. Aside from this it was a nicely decorated room, good shower and the bed was very comfortable with nice clean bedding.
