Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff were very friendly and always very helpful. Our room was a bit different to what was shown on the photos. It was dated and required both a heater and the aircon on to keep the room warm. The bed was comfortable and overall the room was clean. I think it’s best for this hotel to share more photos of their rooms so that guests know that some rooms are very different to others. Or at least ask for a modern shower when you book as ours was an old bathtub with a very old fixed head shower where in the photos it showed a modern new shower and bathroom. The lobby area and lounge was very nice to sit and relax in by the fire.
