8/10 Good
"Nice hotel. Ideally placed for Hydro events, with direct access from the car park. Front desk staff were excellent. The room was well equipped and nicely decorated, with a comfortable bed. Air conditioning made a hell of a racket when turned up, and one half of the toilet flush didn't work, so a bit more attention to maintenance wouldn't go amiss. The only issue that drags the hotel down was the lack of bar staff and their lacadasical approach to customer service. The place was very busy, but some of the staff worked at a snail's pace and showed little interest in serving customers in the, very long, queue."
