Would stay again.

Second time staying here and was disappointed with certain aspects from the first time. As a former publican I would not employ certain bar staff from this hotel. Ordered a drink at the bar and waited for my drinks then noticed the person who took my order was serving someone else further along the bar, only assume he could not mix the drinks I had asked for and went to serve someone else, very rude. When you are paying top price for drink you expect top service. Apart from this the staff were very good and helpful, especially at reception.

My only disappointment was the service by the staff in the restaurant & bar. I went down to order a coffee and felt ignored. After 3 different staff were involved I finally did get my drink.

Hotel has such bad ventilation that you get waken up at 6:15 by kitchen smells, burning your nose. The staff who were on duty couldn't do anything other than 'reporting to manager', and the manager of the day was very rude and unapologic. Stay here at your own risk!

Good hotel but could do better

Lovely hotel in a good location. Food and staff great but for a relatively new hotel would have expected smart TVs, better wifi in rooms and furniture to be available on balconies.

Arrived early aiming to leave our bags and the room was ready. Friendly helpful staff. Clean, nice room. Perfect. Not related to hotel but town is Uber free so don't rely on one.
