We stay here regularly and find it to be a very good location, most of the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are to a good standard and it’s generally well maintained. We had an issue with one of the rooms on our stay and felt it was badly handled by the staff and we were told there wasn’t a manager available to speak to which I found irritating. Nevertheless the majority of staff are kind and welcoming and I normally enjoy my stay.

Disappointment
Great hotel but there were a few disappointments. The room we were placed in was beaten up in places (in the bathroom the wall was completely dinged up and falling apart). We requested a different room and were placed in a smaller room but there was no adjustment to the cost.
