Solid Stay with Convenient Amenities

breakfast buffetswimming poolmodern smart tvparking policy
The breakfast buffet was satisfactory and the staff promptly seated us. Having both a swimming pool and a fitness room on the premises was beneficial. The view from my room was excellent! A modern smart TV was also included in the room.
The hotel parking policy was not ideal after a long day of travel. I found the "first come, first served" system to be somewhat unfair. It seemed to favor guests staying multiple nights, a bit frustrating.

the hotel has a good selection of food for breakfast. it was fresh and hot. both pools were clean and usable. the bar area was also very comfy and tidy with a decent choice of drinks.
the fiasco with the parking at this hotel did not make for a pleasant welcome after a long day. the policy with the parking is unfair. it isnt first come first served and favours people staying for more than one night. there were lots of empty spaces available though the parking was expensive.

The breakfast buffet had a great variety (the bacon was amazing!). The staff were very friendly and always willing to help with directions. The hotel had both an indoor and outdoor pool. I swam in the indoor pool everyday.
The constant noise and lack of privacy meant i kept the curtains closed most of the time. The shower had inconsistent water pressure. It was either too weak or not working at all. The room got warm (even in mid-june), so i had to keep the fan running constantly.
