spacious roomcold waterpool closure
The room was spacious. It also had generous areas to relax including the outside patio area by the restaurant.
The pool's closure lasted a day longer than stated on the website. The water felt very, very cold. Finding ice proved embarrassing. I had to visit the busy bar in my dressing gown late on a Saturday.

The bed was very big and comfortable. The staff were polite, so I appreciated their service.
I was disappointed to see they charged me twice. It covered the deposit and another night's stay.
