Great room and great continental breakfast. Check in time is 3pm which wasn’t ideal. Menu received through room service wasn’t the best.

A wonderful choice
Our room was very big and so clean. It had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and the food was amazing, the staff were very helpful in accommodating our dietary requirements (gluten free due to allergies). We will stay again with no hesitation.
