Excellent Experience!

excellent locationhotel car parklovely barexpensive menu
I found the location EXCELLENT. The hotel provides convenient access to transportation and nearby attractions. I managed to park in the hotel car park. The bar area seemed lovely and inviting, a great spot to unwind after a busy day.
I found the food and drink menu to be VERY expensive. The prices did not seem justified relative to the offerings.

The hotel had a well-equipped gym, complete with three treadmills and two stationary bikes, enabling guests to maintain their fitness routines. I saw that there was also a business center, open 24/7, useful for any work-related needs.
Dining
8/10
The hotel offers a substantial breakfast buffet, including options such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and a selection of pastries. Cereal and fruit selections are also present. They allow for a balanced start to the day. I found many options for non meat eaters too.
