underwhelming stay

the breakfast buffet was ok, a pretty standard selection of items.
the gym showers were a problem, with one shower delivering freezing water and the other only hot. there was also a sewage smell permeating the area. i found it quite off-putting.

fantastic stay!

clean roomcharming touchshower issues
i found the room clean, which i appreciated greatly. the fridge and complimentary water plus a chocolate bar in the room added a charming touch. the modern reception and bar area created an inviting atmosphere for relaxation.
I noticed the showers in the health club had some issues. One was too cold, and the other was too hot, which i found inconvenient.
