My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the amenities like the spa and games room were fantastic, the room itself was disappointingly hot and in need of some serious attention. The dining experience was overall positive with great breakfast options, but my overall joy was slightly dampened by the noise from outside. However, the lively atmosphere and various entertainment options more than made up for some of the shortcomings.

I had a fantastic three-night stay at the hotel, with extremely helpful staff and plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The breakfast spread was outstanding, and the spa treatments were top-notch. However, the rooms could get a bit warm at night, and I would have loved to see a bit more variety in the evening entertainment. Overall, a great experience that I would happily repeat!

We had a lovely stay at the TLH Carlton, which had a lot to offer for families, including great entertainment options and a spacious pool area. The breakfast was especially delicious, providing plenty of choices each morning. However, the dining experience for evening meals was a bit hit-or-miss, and our room was on the warm side with limited air circulation, which could be uncomfortable at night.

My stay was a mixed bag. While the hotel had some great amenities like the swimming pools and dining options, I found the room quite hot and dated. The staff did their best to assist, and I appreciated the variety of entertainment available. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the comfort of the bed and the lack of air conditioning, which made my experience less enjoyable.

I had a delightful experience at this spa hotel, perfect for a weekend getaway with friends or family. The quality of the spa treatments was superb, and the variety of food, especially at breakfast, was impressive. However, while the overall atmosphere was vibrant, I found the large pool a bit too crowded for relaxing moments, and some areas of the hotel felt outdated.
