No-one at the property to greet us. Phoned the contact number and they could not locate the booking. Eventually presumably found it but said no room available and they would have to refund!! Terrible situation for my daughter to suffer when staying for her graduation!

The hotel staff were wonderful. They simply couldn’t do enough for their guests. They allowed us to have an early check-in. They supplied us with extra bits and were most helpful when we had a spillage. I cannot praise then enough.

Plus is location. Unfortunately they chose to do a construction project directly below our room in the evening while we were trying to sleep and the nose was bad. Our room refrigerator did not work and overall the room and general condition of hotel is a bit worn and tired.

The location is great but that was the only good thing. First the property didn’t have a bartender.. okay so that was okay to just sit while our reservation was found. Then we asked for our room to be. Learned of the MANY cobwebs in the corners of the room.. I had to storm down and demand it be taken care of immediately to get it done after 3 requests. Then at 7 am we were woken by the construction noise on property. The staff was nice but very young and inexperienced.
