Had an awful stay. The air in the room was suffocating and it seems the aircon from the vents had a cigarette smoke smell that was causing discomfort. The bathtub had stuff coming out of the hole which makes you feel sick. Reported to the staff but no joy.

Clean and nicely decorated room. Unexpected mini fridge with nice goodies in it - drinks, kitkats, crips, biscuits. Massive and comfy bed. Great shower. Breakfast was good & plentiful. Only think that lets this hotel down is the poor state of repair in leisure facilities- noisy plant, grubby looking, pool lining ridged, changing facilities a little dirty and needing work. Money needs spent on an overhaul to this area of the hotel. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay.
