From the pre- stay communication to the point we left everything exceeded expectations!
Pros:

Location perfect- off the main drag and close to a music venue we were attending. Breakfast fabulous and fully catered for my wife’s Gluten intolerance with an excellent cooked breakfast. The restaurant is particularly recommended for a wonderful buffet of Asian food, all well labelled for content and allergies 10/10 for food. The bar is comfortable and affordanle with pool table juke box and sky tv.

Cons:

Nothing
