We loved our spa balcony room at the Waterloo so much that we booked an extra night. We loved the view from our very comfortable room. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. The room was up some stairs on the first floor. I was disappointed that there was no restaurant operating on site. This would have made our stay perfect but there a some other dining options. We would definitely stay here again.
