I stay here at least ince a year and normally love it. This year, maintenance on the hot tub was preformed. Taking it out of commission after a 4500 person running event. Very poor timing.

Rooms were well appointed & comfy, staff friendly & food of good standard. However despite us paying for a premium suite our room overlooked the car park and was quite noisy with people coming & going at all hours.

There is no elevators and there is hardly any parking. We arrived late after a tour and had to park far and had to leave our heavy bags in car because of hard Access to the room. Also there was no macrowave in the room. And seems like they had just done some halfway plumbing job. There was a cut piece of drywall that was not properly put back and it felt as if we had some critter's company in the room. The bathroom sink was still clogged.
