"The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with many options. The setting of the hotel itself, and it's history was a experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. My only complaint is that the room we reserved was a bit outdated. The old tv had limited channels, dust bunnies here and there on the floor and the furniture was immensely outdated with scratches."

"We had a great weekend, good was great! Activities are always a hit with the kids. The only downside was, there is no air con in the rooms and it was very hot. The two fans in the room didn’t really provide much relief."
