    • Review: This venue is looking quite tired and not well maintained. Housekeeping left bags of dirty laundry in the halls and dishes were outside rooms for most of the day. We were disappointed in the 'fitness centre' having just one kettle bell in the weights room. And we were told on arrival that the spa pool, which is advertised on Expedia and their website, had been closed for six months. It was passable, but for the price not great value for money.
