Rooms excellent, all fresh and new, great bigger than king-size bed. Restaurant staff were wonderful, meals great. Why is a decent coffee extra at breakfast? We dislike coffee from urns. Cereal bowls toooooo small. A big thank you to the staff for wonderful service in what must still be trying conditions as outside of building is maintained and repainted. Bonus is that work men only start at 9am. No doubt grounds and road markings will be redone after work on building completed.
