8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at the village. The bar area and food options are good. The check-in process was quick and efficient. The staff are helpful and quickly resolved a problem we had with the TV. Our room was compact but had excellent air conditioning. The bathroom had an excellent shower. The negatives: The clear glass door is simply inappropriate and gives no privacy. We are a couple but we have no need to see what each other are doing in the bathroom. It was also exactly opposite to the room door so when this was opened it gave full view of what was going on in the bathroom to anyone in the corridor. Also parking can be a little challenging at peak times due to people using the gym and other hotel facilities."
