The breakfast choice was extensive, and i especially liked the option to order freshly cooked eggs to my liking. the rooms were clean. I had a standard double room. evening entertainment was available, but i spent most of my time at the fire & ice spa..
the corridors definitely needed some attention as it looked like it had seen better days.

A Family-Friendly Stay with Excellent Amenities

varied facilitiesconvenient locationreassuring lifeguardinconvenient parking
The hotel had many facilities, including bars and pools. I particularly enjoyed the convenience of being a short walk from the town. The indoor swimming pool had lifeguards always present, a reassuring touch for families. We found the aztec bistro a favourite, especially with its outdoor terrace.
Finding a parking space proved difficult because leisure users occupied many spots. We had booked and paid for parking, so this was inconvenient.
Service

The staff was accommodating and knowledgeable, providing assistance when needed. The breakfast buffet offered a good selection, with plenty of choices. We appreciated the attentiveness throughout the premises (the service really stood out).
