Lovely hotel in an excellent location.

This hotel was absolutely worth that extra cost. You get so much for your money. Our room had small kitchen and medium refrigerator with all the cooking supplies. The room was clean and comfortable. Every person there was more than happy to advise you on places to go; if you needed help, they gave it to you; they have a pool and a delicious restaurant on site (tomato soup and the cheese sandwich was so good!); and very well maintained. Most importantly, safe. They are close to shopping and restaurants. Loved this hotel. The hallway carpet is a little mind bending, but it is interesting. Take a photo with the two brass dogs standing guard at the front doors.

Very tiny bathroom's and poorly designed, the loo is right next to the shower and almost no space to open yhe shower door, worse its glass so any attempt to squeeze yourself in the glass door hits the loo! Its an expensive hotel to stay for a night, more space is needed espresso in the toilet I used the downstream vault, very small and cold! Not sure I'll again!

Great stay for 3 nights

Great staff all round. Nice room although a little cramped - next time I’ll book a larger room. Clean place overall and the room was clean. No problems at all.
