Used as a stopover, travelling from Portugal back to the U.K. Ideal as it is right next to the connecting motorway. Big hotel. Reception staff are fantastically friendly and welcoming. The rooms were huge but lack proper sound proofing from rooms above and next door and our beds were creaky. The noise from the hand dryers or vacuum cleaners I nterrupted our sleep early Sunday morning. One of the hotels major plus, apart from the reception staff, is the small indoor swimming pool and small gym area for the size of the hotel. Pool lacked towels. But brilliant to be able to have a swim in the morning. Empty on a Sunday morning. Not sure how busy it would be on another day. We didn’t opt for the breakfast which at €15 we found expensive for the already pricey stay. Should be included. For the price, you would expect the niceties of toiletries, in-room coffee/tea facilities, dressing gown and slippers. There were none. Hotel could do with mordernising especially the rooms.
