Mark Spencer Hotel
We stayed in a suite and it was very spacious and clean. Sometimes pictures online are deceiving but that was not the case. The staff was very friendly and I especially enjoyed the option to get a latte and scone right in the lobby with a private cafe-like space to enjoy it. Highly recommend.
