Great stay!

clean roomtea facilitiesnice breakfastbooked spa
The room was very clean. There were tea and coffee facilities available in the room. The bathroom was quite spacious! I found the bed and shower very nice. Breakfast was also very good and had a nice buffet.
The spa was already fully booked when I booked the room. Therefore I could not use it, disappointing.

mixed feelings about the stay

ample spacelimited menunarrow space
the room was a good size, providing ample space .
I was a bit disappointed, really. the gravel pit menu felt too limited. It was more like pub grub than what i expected from a 4-star hotel. breakfast was also not great. The hot food buffet was in a very narrow space making it difficult to access.
