We would definitely book another visit. The hotel was clean and quiet. Staff were extremely polite and helpful. The only complaint we have is the breakfast was cold and not alot of seating options. The next time we will take our food back to our room to reheat. The selection of breakfast food was large, we did not expect that many options. Will definitely visit again.
