I originally booked this break for 1 night to veiw the leisuer club, as i was thinking of joining, so as to use the Gym and the pool, and I thought it would be a good idea to really get a good idea of what it truly elt like before commiting.
Well here goes..........The Pool is literally like a paddling pool, and when you enter the pool area 'it is like entering an incinerator!!! the heat is 'truly unbelievable' enough to make you feel quite ill, and then you've got the gym, of which is tiny, only 1 machine of each, so when it is extra busy, you just wouldn't get a look in. The changing rooms are also very tight with space, and they are unisex, so this feels really awkward, the sauna is like a matchbox 2 people in it, and it's packed!!!!.............
............and as for the room we stayed in.......we actually stayed in the new rooms that have recently been added to the hote, so you are not actually in the hotel, so you check in at reception, and then you have'to come out of the hotel and walk quite a way to an outside building of rooms, of whch when entering, feel lke an office block, on entering the room, it initially looks very clean, of which you would expect, as it has only recently been bulit, however, on entering, in order to obtain electricity in your room ie: the lights working, you have'to slot your key card into a slot by the door, and when you have done this, and you switch the main lights on 'they are so bright and clinical, that you automatically want to turn them off, of which you try to turn the bedside lights on, and they do not work, so your either in full brightness, or completet darkness, also there is a light in the bathroom on a sensor that keeps flicking on and off continuously, even if yoyr not in there 'not good for migraine sufferers, or people with sensitive eyes. We was only given 1 key card, so when my husband had'to take this, whilst he went out of the room, i was left in a room with no lights on!!!! 'absolutely bizarre!!!, whom ever designed these rooms 'leave a hell of a lot to be desired??' and then to top it all, we was awoken at 5:45am by a very loud humming noise, and a full blast of constant cold blowing air, of which was blowing over us whilst in bed ''ridiculous!!!!' I was truly stunned into thinking, 'how on earth, could you enjoy your stay in this room!!!' the only positive thing about this room 'was the bed, I couldn't fault that, it was massive, and extremely comfortable,however, we had a terrible nights sleep, which was due to the bad design of this room.
The breakfast was very good, there was quite a variety 'so a very nice choice,' however, the evening meal, was very poor, the food was warm 'which was ver off-putting, and also 'very little portions 'my husband actuall thought they had give him a starter, instead of a main!!! 'Staff were pleasant though' I felt i needed to write this review, so as to make others aware of this 'prior to making a reservation' But please be aware: that we did not stay in the rooms within the hotel, so i cannot 'of course' comment on them'
