Comfortable stopover.
Friendly efficient checkin. We were on the second floor and getting the lift involved going outside. It was snowing so we used the stairs. The room was warm and comfortable and the bed was comfy too. The en-suite was a shower and very clean. We ate in Aspects restaurant and enjoyed the meal. Tables were well spaced. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We’d use the hotel again.

Great location and facilities for kids
Convenient location, not far from attractions and close to shops. Room was too dark, didn't let in much daylight and the lamps didn't give out much light (there was no ceiling light). Pillows were way too soft. We paid for dinner, bed and breakfast, food was good but drinks were very expensive (£10 for a large glass of wine). Pool was fantastic for the kids as they had floats and balls out, waves and a slide. However not so good for adults so I sat on the beds at the pool side and watched my kids have fun.
