Bed super comfy and towels lovely and soft. Decor and space in our particular room not great. Supper food really good, breakfast a little underwhelming. Would have felt nicer to have experienced a few more smiles from some staff

One of the most expensive accommodations on the 500 mile loop and it did not meet my expectations. Front desk should be a bit more flexible on checking in hours, bathroom was quite small and outdated, also I think the breakfast badly needs improvements. Other than that, lovely people, waitresses at dinner were very nice and the food was quite good.

We’ve check in but no one inform us that the main door on our room given has no safe lock and when we call staff He said it same prior to that night. The thing is no one bother to fix the door for the safety of their customer rest and privacy in case someone will open the door in the middle of the night and everyone inside are sleeping. It’s very shame to the hotel and irresponsibility. Juice was serve prior to our present during breakfast. And no cover on the glass at least it’s been poured on our arrival it’s just awkward to drink. Also the carpets are dusty..

The hotel looks lovely from the outside but is a bit tired inside. I’d booked a room with a queen bed but the room had 2 singles. When I asked for it to be changed the girl didn’t seem to want to change it. She asked that if she put the beds together would we want a double duvet! The evening meal was lovely but I ordered grapefruit for breakfast and, when I asked when they brought my cooked breakfast, where the grapefruit was I was told they were waiting on the delivery. I understand that this can happen but I feel I should have been told, and perhaps offered an alternative, before I asked. I didn’t get the offer of an alternative even when I asked. Communication wasn’t their forte.
