We’ve stayed at his hotel quite a few times as we really like the location to downtown. We were upgraded to a king suite for my birthday and I was given a drink voucher to use at the hotel bar. The only thing that lets this hotel down slightly is the hot tub area, it’s a bit dated and the hot tubs weren’t great. I think this area could be made a bit more appealing. Rooms & staff were great though!
