This was a busy evening . Issues checking in which seemed to be related to Expedia but didn’t give me the best first impression , hotel very busy car park full , lots of events on which went on until late , no plug sockets by bed to charge phone or watch , room comfy but basic bathroom average . Pool warm and ok gym functional . Male staff member opened my door room whilst I was getting changed which startled me and was uncomfortable . Not sure I would go again .
