Some friends booked for us to stay here whilst attending a sporting event whilst over from the UK. It’s a conference centre first and foremost and for the ten days we were there there were no conferences so was very very quiet with limited facilities available. However, it proved to be an excellent base for us, the rooms were very comfortable (the beds are huge) and provided kettles, toasters, fridge etc. There’s no reception after I think about 5pm so having left my keycard in the room at 9pm at night thought I had a problem, not so, Victor who sleeps on site was brilliant in getting me back into my room, many thanks much appreciated. Staying here you need a car, loads of restaurants, shops, facilities within a 10 minute drive.
