"The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was a nice size. We had a triple room and, unfortunately, one of the beds was sunken in on one side making it very uncomfortable. Also, the parking is a few blocks away, so take that into consideration when booking."

8/10 Good
"Let's get the negative out of the way...If you have a room overlooking the car park then you don't need an alarm. 6-7am deliveries,the lorries have to reverse all the way in with the bleepers on,which takes ages due to some in part inconsiderate parking. Everything else is quite good, breakfast is a must,the rooms are large very very clean.The staff were all helpful in every department."

"The hotel was beautiful and clean. The lift was not functional when we were there so we had to use the lift that the employees use which was located in a back room and was dingy. The beds were very soft for our liking but overall the hotel was beautiful."
