The hotel was pleasant and had a really good restaurant. The downside was because we had booked through Expedia and not direct with the hotel we had to pay for parking.

The room was cold when we arrived. The heating took a long time to make to room feel comfortable. It was a pleasant nights sleep. In the morning the heating and lighting failed to work. Resorted to using the table lamp while having a shower. When we told reception there was no maintenance person working on a Sunday . Also would have liked to use the swimming pool but it was closed . Breakfast was very nice so much choice .
