The hotel has been beautifully renovated in a super modern black and white marble. Really was surprising how nicely it’s been done and exceeded expectations in that regard. Staff are amazing and really helpful and friendly. We had a few slight issues with the tv not working in the first room but they quickly moved us. The coffee maker was a bit touch and go too but maybe because it’s new. Gorgeous big tv though. I found the bed too soft but my partner loved it. Guess it’s personal preference. Very clean with no issues there. Would definitely stay there again. Great value for what you get.

The staff are amazing. We had a three night booking and had to cancel the middle night. It was booked through a third party and the hotel sorted everything for us, they are sensational. The breakfast is so yummy and again the staff are excellent, considering we had only been there one night before they remembered my coffee just how i like it. The only downside was the parking and renovations but there was no noise while we we there and you don't really notice.
