The rooms feel huge and are well appointed with lots of variety; from rooms to suites, some even with pool access, and themed rooms. There is a gym as well as a swimming pool, and very easy car parking options. The hotel also has its own restaurant, Spice Central Kitchen & Bar. We enjoyed both the buffet breakfast and dinner menus, as well as the in-room dining at the Novotel.
