Stayed in March but decided to go a day earlier than expected to beat the snow. Nice hotel with good food and nightly entertainment. The location is perfect for tram and bus access being just across the road. The parking is limited so imagine in the summer months it could be a problem finding a spot. The rooms were dated... More

I always enjoy my stay at this hotel, I would recommend it to friends and family staying in this area. The pool facilities including the steam room and Jacuzzi were of a very high standard. The location of the hotel was really handy for the trams to travel around the town.

Perfect week end hotel was great James over efficient very good if anything to have a moan just a little bit warm but by god you needed that when you went outside it was freezing. Met lots of great people and even a dead one long story thanks very much to everyone that came. And to Tug who organised it.... More
