8/10 Good
"Looked at the website before we went and there was no information on facilities. Was really hoping for a gym but no mention on website. On arrival realised there was one but hadn’t packed anything to wear. Hotel location was great and staff generally very helpful, mattress on bed was only major complaint and sagged in the middle so little sleep."
