Has the appearance of a grand hotel but the detail is not there. Had two nights work. Second night terrible... noise. Doors banging. Guests shouting. . Thin walls. I even went elsewhere to eat on second night. Only saving grace.. just, is the leisure club use. Avoid room 120 if not in a family. This adjoins another. I was awake... More
