The staff are the main asset at this hotel. We got our first room and there was a strong chemical smell in the room and across the full floor. We managed to move to a different floor and it was much better. In general the hotel is nice however there are quite a few tired areas. I would avoid breakfast - there is a local bakery nearby, we went here instead. It was advertised as 2 pools which is true however depending on your booking and side of the hotel you are staying in will dictate which pool you can use. Something that was not clear to us at booking or at check in.
