The front desk were very welcoming and courteous. The room was well appointed and maintained, clean and comfortable. The parts of the hotel I saw also appeared clean and well maintained. As I only spent one night here, it would be unfair for me to comment on the food and amenities as I did not indulge at all. In summary, I would definitely add this to my shortlist if staying in the area again.

The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was a good size and had a bath and shower over the bath. Staff were friendly and willing to help. Bar food - choice was good and very good. Breakfast was excellent. Buffett and a great selection from fresh fruit and yoghurt etc to cooked breakfast. Well worth considering staying here in comparison to a budget hotel. Would certainly stay there again whennext in the area.
