9/10 Wonderful! (1,004 reviews)
The hotel was beautiful and clean. The lift was not functional when we were there so we had to use the lift that the employees use which was located in a back room and was dingy. The beds were very soft for our liking but overall the hotel was beautiful.

Pleasant from of house. Big room. TV and coffee and tea making facilities. Really nice shower and bathroom. Only thing I disliked was the pillows were too fat for me but that’s a personal thing. Parking outside and bus stop almost outside the door. Quiet nights sleep.
