Stayed one night. Big room, clean, very convenient. A little dated and needed a bedside table on both sides of the bed. Good value for money in the area.

The staff at this hotel were friendly and professional, but also went out of their way with customer service. The outdoor spa area was gorgeous, peaceful and such a special treat. I would definitely book again.
