Modern confortale great personal service
Pros:

I travel frequently around the country for business and by chance identified your hotel when looking for an alternative.....And was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness , modern premium facilities and big rooms.
Probably what really set it apart was the staff service at breakfast. I went to the dining room to book breakfast and asked where i could make coffee but had to go outside first to take call. The lady staff member said not to worry and broight me coffee outside ...she dd not have to but going the "extra mile" was so welcoming Thankyou

Cons:

No Aircon ....

Pros:

Comfortable room. Nice outside area and bar to enjoy an evening drink. Delicious restaurant food and lovely breakfast selection. During heatwave it would be nice to have an option for a fan (or air conditioning).
