Hotel staff were excellent. The restaurant and lounge are very nice. We had an issue in our room because the shower didn't work. As we were only staying one night we only noticed on the morning we were checking out, which was a shame. Had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and both were great.

There was no hot water so unable to have a bath. Shower pressure was weak. Toilet was on a slant so you had to hold up the toilet seat when you went to the bathroom. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious. Customer service was great until the last day as the person we dealt with when we checked out was dismissive and slightly rude.
