Check in was pretty minimal - they just handed over our room key. There isn't information about the facilities in the room - a QR code comes up on the TV, which links you to the information. We don't usually turn on the TV, though - maybe this information could be better displayed on a card in the room with a QR code on it.
The pool was lovely - it's a nice temperature, the space is great, and it's fairly child friendly at 1.2m deep with wide steps. They advertise that they have inflatables out during the school holidays, but they weren't there during our stay.
Breakfast was fantastic - a fresh, hot buffet with multiple staff providing quick service. It's a good deal to have breakfast included.
The location is surprisingly quiet for the city centre - we didn't even hear the buses coming and going. There are major ongoing roadworks out the front of the hotel, but access is maintained and we couldn't hear them during our stay.
