Positive Reviews
positive:
Exceptionally comfortable beds
While there were one or two guests who thought they were a bit too soft, the vast majority found the mattresses exceptionally comfortable. So much so that they wished they could put them in their case and smuggle them back home.
positive:
Clean and modern décor and furniture
It seems that the hotel and its rooms have been recently renovated. The guests did not fail to notice, and described the rooms as looking very modern and smart. They clearly liked the “new room smell”.
positive:
Remarkably quiet environment
While there were a couple of issues with internal noise, many guests commented that they didn't really experience problems with noise form the outside, in spite of being close to the highway
Negative Reviews
negative:
Pool hours a little short
Although not brought up by many guests, a couple did express the opinion that the pool hours were too short. It seems they would have made better use of the pool if it had been open for more of the day, especially if it had closed an hour or two later.
negative:
Noisy fridges
A surprising number of guests reported that the fridge in their room was a bit noisy. While they didn't exactly expect it to be completely silent, they found that it was noisy enough that it disturbed their sleep at night.
negative:
No gluten free breakfast options
Considering the popularity of gluten free diets nowadays, several guests were disappointed to find that there were pretty much no breakfast options, aside from a cup of coffee, that didn't contain gluten in some form.
