    5/5 Excellent
    "Wonderful stay in a beautiful town. The Hotel was the icing on the cake. Fantastic rooftop bar and some exciting art pieces dotted the foyer and halls. Best of all we’re the staff, in particular Danielle and Cameron who couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and accommodating. Top shelf, would definitely recommend. It won’t be the last they see of us."
