I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The suite I stayed in was incredibly spacious and comfortable, but the decor was a bit dated. The service was friendly, but it took far too long to get food at the Christmas party. On the plus side, the breakfast offered was fantastic, though there was a long wait to be served. Overall, there's potential here, but improvements are definitely needed.

Overall, my stay was quite pleasant with spacious and clean rooms and a nice spa facility. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with inconsistencies in meal temperature, and it can get a bit noisy due to its proximity to the airport. The staff was mostly accommodating and helpful, making the experience enjoyable despite a few drawbacks.

We initially booked a spa package to celebrate our anniversary, which we were excited about. The spa facilities were nice, and the lunch was fantastic. However, the experience was marred by the overcrowded pool area full of children, making it less relaxing than we had hoped. While the treatment was enjoyable, the noisy atmosphere made it hard to fully unwind. Overall, it was a mixed experience at a reasonable price, but probably better during quieter times.

We recently spent a lovely weekend at the hotel and while there were some busy periods during our stay, the overall experience was still enjoyable. The signature room was comfortable and well-appointed, and we appreciated the cleanliness throughout the hotel. However, the dining experience during peak times could have been better organized, and I felt the breakfast was slightly overpriced for what was offered.
