mixed experience with some disappointments

noisy roominedible food
I stayed at this hotel in 2024 and had a few issues. our room overlooked the car park, and i found it quite noisy (opening the windows was not an option). i also wanted to use the gym early in the morning, but it didn't open until 8 am. this was inconvenient. also, the food quality at the fishers restaurant was subpar. My arancini were barely edible.

The breakfast had a vast choice. I ate in the dining room for one evening. The meal was very nice. The staff were attentive both times and the food was good.
I stayed in April 2024. My room overlooked the car park at the front. It was very noisy, so I could not open the windows.
