The location was really convenient. It was just a short walk from the train station. The gym had a good range of equipment. It was better than I expected. The pool was also a nice size.
The parking situation was not ideal. The hotel car park was often full. I had to use the public car park, and it was an extra charge. The breakfast buffet was okay, but I thought it could have had more variety.
