Room décor could do with some refurbishment. But, the rooms are clean and comfortable.
Standard rooms can be a bit noisy in the evening, due to the street noise. It is suggested to upgrade if possible.
TV channels are very limited and the reception is not very good.
Wi Fi is hit or miss. You may have to go out of the room to get good reception.
There is no Kids Club, which makes it not so kid friendly. Still, the kids are well looked after by the staff.
The Fitness room is small with limited equipment.
