Loved it for the location & view. Not the hotel itself
Pros:

Location is wonderful and the view is beautiful

Cons:

For a superior room it certainly didn’t have a superior mattress for the bed. The breakfast buffet was cold even for the hot cooked food.

После проживания сняли со счета 38 фунтов наверное за один завтрак что мы заказали на 3 человек не понравилось что не сообщили подробности могли выслать чек. За парковку платили дополнительно с другой карты.
