underwhelming stay this time
unreliable wi-fismall tv
i visited for a quick break. the spa was somewhat spoiled by rowdy guests, management didn't seem to care. our room, a 'superior double or twin room', had a few issues. the wi-fi was unreliable, it kept cutting out. plus, the tv was too small for the room size, i could hardly see anything from the bed.
