This is a friendly, well run, clean, quiet home away from home. Chef standard food is superb - always a great bar and restaurant experience. It’s been an absolute delight to keep returning here year after year. Locals also appreciate it as the best place in town to gather for family and work functions - this is a great tick of approval from a seasoned traveller. Business can also be conducted with good office backup from the front desk - always with a willing smile.

The staff more than made up for the shortcomings of the hotel. They catered to your beconed call. They made a point of learning your name and going out of the way to greet you and ask how you were doing. One of the staff even offered to walk with me a couple of blocks to the local museum.
