Had a lovely stay at the Novotel. Check in staff were so friendly and helpful. We had two rooms and they were near each other and had great views. All staff were great however the two ladies in the restaurant checking us in for breakfast could have been friendlier. More

Plenty of room for a young family. Service was excellent all the way thru. Check in was quick and my child was given a... More
