surprisingly pleasant stay
convenient inclusionlive entertainmentworn carpet
i found the room quite spacious. the inclusion of tea and coffee facilities was really convenient. the beer garden was a nice spot for relaxation after a long day. also, the availability of live entertainment added some extra enjoyment to my evenings.
i noticed that some areas of the hotel seemed a bit outdated, particularly the carpets. they looked quite worn and could definitely benefit from replacement. this detracted a bit from the overall impression.

the hotel provides a swimming pool for guest use and it looked clean. there is also a games room, though i did not use it myself. ballrooms are available for events and seemed prepared to accommodate larger parties.

The room included a functional hairdryer and tea-making facilities. I found that VERY useful. The shower had good pressure, and there were plenty of fresh towels in the room. There WAS a tv and a fan. The location allowed easy access to nearby attractions.
I noticed the vending machine was out of order.

The breakfast buffet featured a range of options though the eggs needed a LITTLE more cooking. There WAS white and brown sliced bread. Only jam was available and not individual portions, but the overall quality was good for the price.
