Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
All of the staff throughout my stay were friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely it was in the courtyard part not in the main hotel. If you are a light sleeper ear plugs are a must as the walls are incredibly thin and you can hear people coughing and in the shower/bath. Car parking is interesting as one of them is very small and people do not know how to park properly. I would stay here again.
