Great inn
I booked this place based on the good reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. There were 4 of us including 2 kids. Lovely free cookies etc and a drink on arrival. The MOST welcoming staff - we arrived fairly late and we were tired and the lady on reception couldn’t have been nicer. The rooms are ‘cool’ - not in the cold sense but just smart, modern etc and just a bit different. Very clean. Easy parking. Didn’t use the pool so can’t comment. I fully recommend!

Don’t stay in room 101
Our stay here did not meet our expectations compared to other hotels in the same neighborhood that we’ve stayed at before. The pool and spa was not clean and the music was horrible techno and not relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. When we put the bubbles on for the spa, the pool equipment made loud and unbearable. The breakfast was not continental at all. Only apples, instant oatmeal and cookies. No water station in lobby. The air conditioner was covered up by furniture and the soap dispensers in the shower did not work well. Very poor lighting in the entry area and mirror. The room is nicely decorated, but for the price, expected more from this hotel. We were in room 101 and the cleaning area was right across from us and the staff was constantly talking and we could not nap when we needed to. I was really hoping to enjoy this hotel, but there are so many other options that are better in this area.
