spacious room wide variety comfortable stay worn out towel unfriendly waiter mediocre spa

The room was spacious and clean. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of different foods to choose from. The hotel has free parking, a free swimming pool and a spa.

It was not like a real thermal spa with multiple pools. The towels really needed replacement as most of them are worn out.
