We had a wonderful 3 days. Our family live opposite so we were able to spend time with them as well.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. The staff were very helpful. the atmosphere was great.

Cons:

I was disappointed that there was only one price for breakfast. $42.50 was a lot. I am not a big eater and it would have been nice to have had a cheaper option. There was no filter coffee so I got an espresso which I had to pay extra for.

Pros:

Great location and very good breakfast. Hospitality staff were outstanding.

Cons:

Our room only had one towel for the two of us and the bedside light wasn't working. Called housekeeping and reception multiple times around 7.30am but neither answered. In general we found the hotel staff very disengaged.

Don’t think we’ll be returning, which is a shame as we’ve always enjoyed our previous stays.
Cons:

Thought our room was a little tired.
Inner curtain ripped. Armchairs uncomfortable. Obvious room was missing a bed.
Kettle needs replacing: limescale & didn’t seem to switch off. Cups low quality, glad we took our own.
Toiletries motel standard.

Disappointing
Pros:

We were disappointed as an obvious corporate event was on and it seemed your regular customers were pretty much ignored during this time. We ordered a drink during happy hour and were charged full price even after questioning it. Then we were shown to a side area with no atmosphere and shown the side door to exit.. we have stayed with you previously and were treated better.

Cons:

As above.
