Loved the access to the gym, but not all gym areas were available. My partner is an athlete and was prepping for a competition and needed a quiet space to yoga, but the yoga space in the gym was unavailable to be accessed or used; despite the facility not being booked by a personal trainer. The gym/spa staff were not helpful towards the request to use this part of the gym facility from a hotel guest, notwithstanding that the hotel promotes access to the gym. Also the spa was not available to be accessed by hotel guests on Saturday. These were the only disappointing parts of the stay.

Nice property but be aware there are no lifts - stairs only. The airconditioning unit in our room (330) was very noisy which was frustrating. The television is a bit small considering how far from the bed it is - a larger screen would be more comfortable viewing, but younger eyes will probably have no issues! All in all a comfortable stay in a good location.
