Definitely a lot of positives, the place looks great, includes the spa. The staff are great. The negatives was the wifi was hit and miss and when your phone signal is poor this is a nightmare. The layout of the breakfast is very poor, customers and staff moving in all directions leading to a shambles. Also a decent lager like peroni wants adding to the bar.
