Collectively in the last couple of years, I've stayed here a few nights. While a four star resort…read moredoes usually make you think a bit luxury... This is far from it.
First impressions are great. Renovated rooms, appealing halls and common areas, beautiful grounds, parking, wifi, a real gym, tennis courts and swimming pool.... But the reality is not as nice.
The beds are stiff. They give you one hard flat pillow per person. The bathrooms are spacious and modern but poorly designed. Great water pressure though! The toiletries are only bar soap, a shower cap and body wash from a wall dispenser. One large towel per person. The swimming pool opens early June despite May's average temperatures being plenty warm to go swimming. The music for the group fitness classes in the basement can be heard on the third floor. The location is quiet but there were no real curtains or way to shut out sunlight, only slotted shutters and a privacy sheer curtain. When the hotel is full, parking can be tricky as well.
The breakfast is sad. Boiled eggs, Canadian bacon, frozen and thawed variety of cakes and Italian croissants, small selection of very low quality cheeses and sliced meats, sliced white bread, stale cereal, room temperature milk, yogurt & water, concentrated juices from a machine, and an all-in-one dispenser machine for coffees, hot milk, hot water etc.
Overall the price and location and activities make it a great option. But if you just want a good night sleep, relaxing shower and nice breakfast I do NOT recommend it. If you take away the gym and sport amenities this is far away from being a four star hotel.
