Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were incredibly comfortable and generously decorated, with all you could need including a fridge, tea kettle, and even coffee and tea. The bed was fantastic, and the modern bathroom was a nice touch. The breakfast included was excellent, and though the restaurant service was good, it could have been a bit faster. Overall, a glamorously decorated room with all the amenities you could ask for.
The hotel had a bathtub in the rooms which was great to soak your feet, plenty of storage space, and comfortable beds making it really comfortable, though it was very cold initially, it got warmer when the heater was turned on. The rooms may overlook adjacent houses or buildings.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was too hot and stuffy, but the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was modern, and the excellent breakfast was included. However, the restaurant lacked atmosphere and didn't offer Jack Daniels.
