convenient family stay

single bedsbottled waterdecent wifibroken machine
We had enough space in the family room. The single beds felt comfy and were big enough for my tall teens. bottled water, real milk, tea, coffee, and biscuits in the room was a great bonus. decent wifi was a plus. the bathroom had a mostly opaque wall. We managed fine though.
the pool was nothing like advertised, and the spa part of it did not work during my entire visit. children were shrieking and jumping in and out of the pool constantly! the gym had machines not working.

excellent breakfastsmall roomsickening smell
The breakfast quality seemed excellent, and I found the restaurant great for evening meals.
I booked a room with a city view and I received a view of nothing. My room sat between two huge buildings and the room itself felt fairly small. Water pressure for the shower was dreadful. A usual shower took three times as long. The smell in the corridors was sickening, like burnt sugar, and chemicals.
