Double room was small and very hot, fan helped a bit. Water was clean in pool but hand rail could be tightened. Not allowed in main area first afternoon due to private function (an area we choose hotel for the view). Next evening another group took over most of the entertainment area, one of their dogs was off lead, on and around dance floor, another dog was sitting on the chairs. Entertainers good. Drinks price high and varied in quality due to bar or restaurant prepared Okay if you are on a deal or package but not otherwise. Felt as a hotel guest in the way.

Staff were fantastic, could not do more to help you. Food was lovely. Room was very basic, but clean, only thing I would suggest is to place fans in the room as it was extremely hot. Other than that I would stay there again.

Nice location, comfortable stay

Care to spot the entrance to the hotel is needed, as the road is busy. The hotel is comfortable. We had a problem finding the room, as the numbers of the rooms aren’t sequential. It would be useful to be told that when checking in as it was confusing. We attended a concert and it was lovely to have a room and avoid an hour’s drive home afterwards.

Lovely 1 night stay

We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming . Room had a lovely view though was a little tired looking. But was still very clean and comfortable. It was nice that they dont charge extra for parking and there was plenty of space. When we asked if we could takr breakfast in the room, the staff were so lovely and brought it to us. Pool was refreshing - we didn't feel rushed to leave. Would definitely visit this hotel again.

Unbelievable personal attention. Thanks! Thanks!

This staff treated us like family. The manager helped us get medical care, even loaned us his personal phone. The night manager supplied us with ice to handle pain. Dinner was amazing. All staff, including the kitchen staff and chefs, literally stood outside to wave goodbye to the seniors on the buses every day!!
