10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all very friendly & helpful, whether they were at the reception desk, restaurant or cleaning the rooms. Our room was clean, the restaurant was really nice & the front bar was quite nice to sit and enjoy a drink or two. The only negative is that there is t enough parking available for guests & street parking is $3.60 per hour."
