I had a wonderful weekend getaway with my family at the hotel. The spacious rooms were indeed a highlight, and the leisure center was fantastic for us. While the bar menu outshone the restaurant's offerings, the food was still good. The staff really made the experience memorable with their attentiveness. However, I was disappointed to find that the spa was fully booked, and there were challenges with our dining reservations.
