We stayed at the Academie for 2 nights during half term. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, and most of all it was warm(helpful as it was -10 outside). The bathroom was lovely and clearly refitted. As nice as our stay was, we did have a couple of problems: firstly our room was almost impossible to lock, though we eventually manged it..however the cleaner clearly didn't as when we returned from an excursion during the day, the room had been left unlocked, not great as we were opposite the gym. Secondly we had no bin....this might not seem bad but just think about it! And the clincher for us, and what clearly doesn't make this a 4 star were the plastic cups for tea/coffee. I say tea and coffee, but this '4 star' only leaves 2 coffee sachets, 2 tea bags, 2 creamer powers and 2 sugars- any more and you have to pay!what a joke!
Location is fantastic and you can park underneath, though watch out as there were roadworks blocking the road to the hotel, though no-one bothered to let us know from the hotel and warn us.....perhaps something a 4star hotel would do?
Resurants just down the lane of the hotel are fantastic and much cheaper than those on the main market square.
We would stay here again but not for the £80 per night which we paid, probably only for half that.
