the leisure centre seemed nice i suppose and the pool looked clean enough from the outside.
they stuck me in a room that smelled vaguely of old socks. the shower temperature fluctuated wildly and nearly scalded me a couple of times. plus the noise from some sort of machine outside the window made sleep a real challenge, even with the complimentary earplugs.

I found a fantastic sports facility and swimming pool. Demi, Lergha, and Tori treated us well. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff displayed multi-skilled expertisewith a really good overall experience. As it was our wedding anniversary, they upgraded us to the best suite!
The hotel's inflexibility with timings was noticeable. We had to wait until the official check-in time, despite our room being ready earlier.

I found the leisure facilities very appealing. The pool was of a good size and the steam room and sauna worked well. The bar had a nice atmosphere (I enjoyed a glass of wine after dinner). The restaurant offered very good food.
The hotel decor was mostly grey and perhaps needed a little more color to brighten things up.
