“This hotel strikes me as a practical choice for families, particularly with the sauna and pool area; although the pool area can get noisy with children enjoying themselves, the rooms are diligently kept clean by hardworking housekeepers. I appreciate that the bathrooms have been upgraded, offering a nice, spacious feel; and the morning espresso machines at breakfast add a welcome touch. It feels like a solid, dependable option with some areas ready for upgrades.”
