My daughter & I stayed the night could not fault the hotel or the staff. My daughter ended up being very sick throughout the bed & the staff went above & beyond to help me sort the issue when I had no idea what to do. Thank you. Room was great & buffet breakie delicious Only downfall was parking offsite about 500m walk but otherwise we would definitely stay again.
