An excellent stay overall!
Pros:

I loved my stay. The interior design of the hotel and the comfort of the bed definitely exceeded my expectations.

Cons:

The only downside was the construction next door, which could be quite loud in the mornings and made it a little difficult to sleep in. I understand this is beyond the hotel’s control.

Quaint and restful stay
Pros:

The softest bed I’ve ever stayed on, was like a cloud. Loved the little tea set and chocolates as welcome gift. I had breakfast included (it’s is served at hotel across the street) and lots of buffet options, all fresh and delicious.
Could not fault how clean the room was, one of the cleanest hotels I’ve visited

I wouldn’t choose this hotel again.
Pros:

Location was good. Very clean and new

Cons:

Breakfast was at a different location . Hotel carpark was full. I was asked to park in the public carpark and tap room key on exit. I was charged for parking. Apparently this was because I should have tapped a different box which I wasn’t made aware of.
