Every member of staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast staff were “on it” clearing tables getting food restocked. Getting drinks. Room was spotless. The swimming pool and sauna not rated at all. This is outside the hotel. Ignore this and I can’t fault the hotel. Looks all modern in breakfast area bar and reception. Would stay again.
