This is a great place to stay, yes its a little old but very comfortable and clean. Even though couples dining was advertised the restaurant has been closed for a very long time. We stayed early January but the spa facilities were not available because the one person staff was on leave. Everybody deserves leave but to take that leave during the busiest holiday period is not ideal. In my opinion this hotel is dying, perhaps the spa business brings in some money but overall I suspect that the business model is out of date.
