Other then the Receptionist on arrival the staff and Hotel experience was fantastic, however the Receptionist on arrival did put a dampener on the experience as she was a little rude and short even though there were no other gusts arriving or departing at the time.

Loved the beds - very comfortable and the restaurant was excellent in range and quality of food. Service was wonderful. Could do with a heated towel rail in the bathroom though but other than that the size of the room was fine.

This hotel advertises as a luxury hotel and charges accordingly. It was boring, lifeless, and mediocre. There was no hotel guide in the room, no mini-bar and a minimal selection of TV channels. Parking was hit and miss. The front desk was uninterested to learn that able bodied people were parking in the disability parking spaces. Two of the three nights we stayed we had to park on the street. We will not be back.
