"The view here is spectacular. The bed could have been more comfortable (but I think everyone has a different opinion on what they like!) but the room itself was spacious, fantastic shower facilities. The restaurant was nice with a lot of food options to choose from. The coffee in the room was a nice change. The views…amazing. The staff were very friendly. Great stop-in hotel."
