Overall a nice hotel !!

It was a very nice hotel.. I don’t want to say a bad word but the shower/bath situation was a bit dangerous . I nearly slipped in the bath when I was getting out of the shower. Bed was great Internet was a bit slow and our movie kept stopping lots. I gave up on watching. It was a good location though. Great to have an onsite restaurant, not that we used it but we did order room service in the evening and that was good.

Staff were extremely helpful. Whatever we asked, they were able to deal with. Special mention to Richard on the front desk. Excellent advice and really went out of his way in exploring alternative accommodation for us as we needed to leave a day early than planned.

Great three night stay. There was a mix up the first night. Got our proper room the next two nights. Got offered free brekky or a discount room rate. They were brilliant in reception and nothing was a problem for them. We will definitely stay here again. Great room and comfy big bed. We ate there one night. Food was so so. Can’t fault any of the staff. They were brilliant.
