I truly enjoyed every moment of my stay and honestly didn’t want to leave. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay. One of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had!

Room, staff, location all terrific
Pros:

What a location! Blissful. Added to by the wonderful staff, huge family room and attention to detail (only place on 3 week road trip to supply bottles water free of charge). Management also delay brilliantly with a power outage in the block which was out of their control and lasted for half a day, torches, stair lighting, great communication and an unsolicited generous discount for the inconvenience. Underground parking was a treat. Didn’t eat at hotel but spent a little time around the pool which was lovely too. Made our stay memorable. Thank you

Cons:

Nothing
