Christopher

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff and service were excellent. Wasn't expecting breakfast was included but it was, which was a bonus. The restaurant and bar was excellent service too. The only negative is the walls between each bedrooms was wafer-thin and i could clearly hear the television in the next room. Had to ask next door to turn it down and even then i could still heat it.
