Everything was wonderful! We were offered bottled water upon arrival which was greatly appreciated. We selected to have breakfast included and I’m happy we did. Healthy locally sourced foods where possible. The hotel serves my favourite Italian coffee/espresso which was a bonus. Robes available in the lighted wardrobe are a nice touch.

The staff are kind and lovely. The parking is a struggle but the food in the restaurant is delicious. They just need to improve their standard operations. Recommend not ordering food to your room and keep your stay short and you will have a great time.

It was okay. However, there was hair in the black towel in the washroom, and the toilet paper wasn’t brand new; the roll was about to run out. This is the first time I've seen a hotel trying to save a toilet paper roll. I’m pointing this out not because I want some benefit or compensation but just for the cleaning team to do their best. Other than that, it was fine.

Only issues we had didn’t have anything to do with the facility itself. Most of the hotel was there together and unfortunately for us they decided to party in the room right next to us, thankfully they shut it down by 12:30 am, so not the end of the world, but the street was extremely busy and noisy all night.
