The staff, hotel, restaurant, and rooms were wonderful. Parking is a little scarce due to the popularity of the bar. The waitress in the restaurant was very knowledgeable about the food and able to accommodate my food allergies. I would definitely recommend

Skylon - Ongoing Construction

There was CONSTRUCTION WORK going on in the room below mine - jackhammers, drills & hammering. I did NOT appreciate this - the hotel could have warned me beforehand!

I thought the bed was comfortable but the pillows were not, they very very hard. The shower looks impressive but didn't have much pressure. i requested a quiet room and got one so I got a good night's sleep. I thought the price for 1 person for 1 night without breakfast was steep.
