"All good - room is well sized, great view, great location. Only snag was there's basically no window openings and AC isn't actually AC more of an in built fan. So air circulation and cooling was non existent so could end up with a bit of a stuffy room after a couple of days"

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely beautiful hotel stay. Spotlessly clean and lots of things to do whether you just want to kick back and relax in the luxurious spa or get involved in the golf, gym, bowling, shuffleboard etc. Food in the restaurants is really lovely too. We dined in the rib room and the carvery and were very pleased with both. Breakfast was also really good. Can't comment on fusion, hope to be back again soon so we can check them out. Only downside we experienced was the pillows were way to soft. We didn't get a good night sleep for the two nights we stayed. Will bring our own pillows from home next stay."
