The superior room i got allocated looked a bit tatty, i found marks on the walls. the bed linen also had hairs on it. It took effort to get a better room. the spa was fully booked for treatments far in advance, so what's the point?

Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues
burn marks firm pillows
The hotel location was acceptable, offering a short walk to the city center.
The room assigned to me was not great. There were burn marks on the carpet and crumbs behind the curtains. The pillows also proved to be quite firm, not conducive to a restful sleep. The beds were just two singles pushed together. This caused a gap I kept slipping into during the night
