“This hotel strikes me as a place that juggles a few priorities. While the leisure club, complete with hydrotherapy and a substantial gym, is a definite draw, I noted that some rooms could feel cramped, and noise might be an issue for light sleepers. The cookery school is a particularly interesting addition, reflecting an investment in unique guest experiences.”
