Pillows?????
Very enjoyable stay, with new hotel looking good. The only problem we had was the pillows we had were of the poorest quality and had an impact on our sleep on both nights. I was very surprised with the pillows as everything else exceeded my expectations.

Not Very Happy For a long standing customer
I booked a room for 2 separate beds and received one double bed to share with my male friend which was not what I bargained for. Hotel staff was very blazay about it. I booked a room that was said to have 1 double bed, 1 single bed and a double sofa bed. I ended up with 1 double bed. To this very moment I’ve not yet managed to speak to Hotels.com as they are too busy and this is who the hotel says I need to speak to as this room is no longer available at all at the hotel.

I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed following your recent stay with us. Unfortunately a twin room wasn't requested in advance and so wasn't prepared in advance. I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. I do hope this misunderstanding will not taint your view of your previous good experiences with us and we do hope to be welcoming you back again in the future.

Late booking, so we didn’t get one of the refurbed rooms but it was fine for one night. Staff excellent but pool area does need some love and attention if not a deep clean. Food in bar decent as well. Staff made it a short but pleasant stay

Pool was very tired sauna took over an hour to get to temperature ,there was tread mills at pool side as there was no where else to store them apparently....bed in room was new and very firm and uncomfortable as where pillows...the staff where very attentive and genuinely friendly...the reception area was lovely as well as the floor we where on, looked like it had just been refurbished....very handy for shopping close by within walking distance.we’d stay again but would miss pool out till upgraded... overall a mostly pleasant stay..took my back a week to get pain free from an uncomfortable sleep.

Will never choose Expedia again who said they would guarantee me what was advertised but that was not fulfilled when I had arrived. The staff provided very poor service and my overall experience was terrible. Will never choose this hotel and certainly not through Expedia who failed to follow through on what was agreed and what u had paid for. Overall the worst experience I've ever had.

Checking in just after midnight with 2 kids ( booked for 2 adults and 2 children) Room was very clean although the sofa bed wasn’t made up and didn’t even have bedding for us to make so 2 tired kids had to wait for staff to run about and get bedding. Rooms were absolutely roasting no air conditioning or fans Breakfast was an absolute shambles no clean tables no clean cutlery and staff didn’t have a clue Food was great however
