The hotel is attached to a casino which is being refurbished. We therefore found that we were woken by workmen and the interior was a building site. The staff are excellent and compensated for the state of the building. If you intend staying there in the next year, I'd suggest you find out first of all whether the building works have been completed. The food in the restaurants is franchised and was poor - however, again, the staff were totally charming. A new restaurant is due to open later in the year so all in all, the hotel is in a state of flux. We have stayed at the hotel several times before and always enjoyed it so hopefully the building works will be beneficial in the long term. ##### Gill ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel ILUNION Atrium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-ILUNION-Atrium.h2201729.Hotel-Information) > > [Vibra Calima Apartamentos - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sant-Antoni-De-Portmany-Hotels-Apartamentos-Formentera-I-Adults-Only.h10108257.Hotel-Information) > > [Bali Beach Hotel & Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Bali-Beach-Hotel-Village.h7273315.Hotel-Information) > > [Connemara Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Connemara-Coast-Hotel.h83441.Hotel-Information) > > [Vasia Boulevard - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Vasia-Boulevard-Adults-Only.h31884785.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Abbey Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abbey-Stadium-Hotels.0-l6087589-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Lapland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Lapland-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6056258-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Villa Can Dala luxury in Port de Pollensa Sleeps 12](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pollensa-Hotels-Villa-Can-Dala-Luxury-In-Port-De-Pollensa-Sleeps-12.h34043949.Hotel-Information) > > [4bdr Family friendly villa with 400sq.m. playground,private heated swimming pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Simou-Hotels-4bdr-Family-Friendly-Villa-With-400sqm-Playground.h33699587.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels.d178253.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Amsterdam City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-City-Centre-Amsterdam-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6200211-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Benenden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benenden-Hotels.d3000387537.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Colwyn Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colwyn-Bay-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d180354-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ras-Al-Khaimah-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Ras-Al-Khaimah.h20086500.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Karachi (KHI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/khi/glasgow-to-karachi) > > [Flights from Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/2205/flights-from-manchester) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/cdg/glasgow-to-paris) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Shahpur (DHM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/del/dhm/delhi-to-kangra) > > [Flights from Rhodes (RHO) to Derby (EMA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/rho/ema/rhodes-to-east-midlands) ### Cars > [Car hire near Jasper National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Jasper-National-Park.d6089395.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Reading Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading.d5664.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Hadleigh Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hadleigh-Farm-Benfleet.d6259234.Attraction) > > [Greenwich Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greenwich-Park-Greenwich.d507729.Attraction) > > [Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norfolk-And-Suffolk-Aviation-Museum-Bungay.d553248621532509394.Attraction) > > [Sierra Leone Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sierra-Leone.d160.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Bosnia and Herzegovina Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bosnia-And-Herzegovina.d11414.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Telford Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Telford-Holiday-Rentals.d4989.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit New Brunswick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Brunswick.dx11161)
