Bill and Josée, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A very expensive and outdated property. We wouldn't stay again. Rooms, although spacious, are from another era and need a complete overhaul. Very uncomfortable beds with saggy mattresses and when my child was playing they pushed one aside and it was apparent the carpet hadn't been vacuumed under there for an age. No shower curtains in bathroom so water just spills all over the floor making it very slippery. Staff were friendly and check in was easy. It's just a shame that the hotel isn't up to scratch.
Bronwyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet and cosy
Colin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was tidy and the staff was friendly.

8/10 Very good

The lady in reception might have had a long day, she was a bit grumpy, other than that a more than adequate over night stay, parking was really great, right outside the room. We would stay again
