When I read this hotels reviews I was very unsure about it. Thankfully the hotel put these reviews to shame. The staff were excellent and couldn't have been more helpful. The Bar&Grill food was delicious and reasonably priced. Most importantly the rooms were clean, simple and had everything that you would need. The cleaners left towels, etc. outside our door as we had a do not disturb sign up and this to me was great because in most hotels I have stayed in if you have a sign up the cleaners ignore your room and you have no fresh towels for the weekend. Excellent hotel, no complaints, will be staying there again.
