fantastic stay

great stafffood choicesorganised parkingbar service
the staff were fantastic, addressing my mobility concerns with parking, room location, and dining. i found the food wonderful, offering many choices, well-cooked options at breakfast and dinner. the evening entertainment impressed me. everything from the efficient car parking to the attentive bar service was excellently organised.
the shower in the room was somewhat dated. it had a shower curtain instead of a screen. this felt a bit old-fashioned compared to the rest of the experience.

Parking was available right in front of the hotel. That's a huge plus! i also liked the option to reserve seats for the evening entertainment . That makes things way easier. the entertainment area is open to non-residents too.

the breakfast offered a very good selection. the staff were excellent and always attentive to our needs.. entertainment each evening was also very good. i especially enjoyed the live music.
it seemed out of order most of the time and caused some inconvenience. only one bar was open at a time, and if i wanted a drink, i felt forced to sit through games of bingo, which i didn't particularly enjoy.

The meals were very good. I particularly appreciated the variety of food available. The evening entertainment was also a highlight of my stay (especially the cabaret). The staff were polite.
I found the direction signage within the hotel to be confusing. Several guests seemed disoriented. I also noticed some dust on the skirting boards and stained carpets in places.
