8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)

Very quiet, and rooms are spacious with easy parking. But I would say the hotel missed a few tricks. Firstly, the night I arrived I had a meal and a beer and the food was good but I probably would had another drink but staff were inattentive. Another couple of nights room service QR code came up as no vendors despite it being 8 pm. You can call for room service, by which time delivery services become easier.
