The staff, hotel, restaurant, and rooms were wonderful. Parking is a little scarce due to the popularity of the bar. The waitress in the restaurant was very knowledgeable about the food and able to accommodate my food allergies. I would definitely recommend

Friendly staff and service. Missed having light switch by the bed and no bedside lamps so had to get up to switch off lights. Plugs above desk were too low to accommodate International adaptors.
