The staff throughout the hotel were friendly. Breakfast service was excellent, with prompt and attentive staff. I found the room to be very clean and well-appointed (I especially liked the extra towels). The leisure club facilities are a great bonus, offering a spacious and well-equipped environment.
The long corridors made finding the room a bit difficult. This was not a huge issue, but it was inconvenient after a long day. I did find the layout somewhat confusing at first.
