In addition, there are great facilities for people with disabilities. However, it seems that the hotel caters more to conferences than to couples or families. Although the family rooms are spacious, the soundproofing could be better as noises from neighboring rooms can be easily heard. On the bright side, the hotel is situated in a good location and has an event room on site. Kids will enjoy the large outdoor space with games available, although the pool can be crowded with noisy children. Overall, pet facilities at the hotel are brilliant and a great option for pet owners.

4 Star

For the money, it's definitely good value, although it can be quite expensive for what it is. It's a 4-star hotel, but some guests felt that it was passable at best and not up to 4-star expectations. Some of the rooms are located in 1980s blocks and are not as impressive as the rest of the property. However, it's still a nice lil stay and for the money it ticks all the boxes. Overall, if you're looking for a sports centre and pool, this hotel may meet your needs, but don't expect a 5-star experience.
