Excellent stay

I am quite happy with this hotel. I have stayed here before and the service and facilities remain top quality. The Morning breakfast is warm, complete and well served. Pool is very small, but I generally don't use it, so not a problem.

It was fine for the price.

Got a bonas room with a king size bed for the price of a smaller room, booked a non-smoking room but when I got there I was put in a smoking room and was told all there other king size rooms were takin and I was stuck with a smoking room. I had to spray the room down and leave the window open for the first 2 days just to get the smoke smell out.

Overnight Business

I did not arrive until after midnight, and was tired when I checked in. The lobby reeked of cigarette smoke, but the attendant was accommodating. I forgot toothpaste so I called the front desk to see if they had any. They supposedly did, but when I went down to the front desk, he said he'd checked the closet but was out! The room was on the third floor and the beds were very well worn and sagging on one side. So, overall it was not a good experience.
