Staff were very nice and helpful. We noticed that no one was picking up the trays from room service. Room was dated with lots of scratches on the furniture. Shower flooded ever time we used it. Most disappointing thing was they change their guest $25 a day to park at the hotel

Staff were great. Room a little dated but overall ok, tv should have more options rather than stream cast which is glitchy. For the money paid would expect more, Breakfast also not impressed in terms of quality and clearly short staffed. They were run off their feet and clearly not able to keep up. Given a long weekend management should be prepared for business and provide adequate staffing levels.

Was nice the only down fall for me was no parking and if you want to park at the hotel they charge you $25 per day parking should be included in your room fee but that would the only issue

Hotel rooms and all staff were excellent upon arrival and departure. Ambiance at bar and adjoining dining area very stisfying but a little more independent table subdued lighting needed to make menue easier to read. Subdued lighting and fireside atmosphere very appropriate and appreciated. In room tea making facilities and drinking glasses not easilly found.

Check in was easy, the gentleman on desk went above and beyond to make everything pleasant for us. Upgrade to a bigger room and fold out bed put in without me asking or being charged as they thought it would make for a 'nicer night for you both'. All the staff were friendly and accommodating, answeing all the questions of my pre-schooler.

Disappointed

Disappointed our room was not made up during our stay. The carpet hadn’t been vacuumed between visitors as it was visibly dirty. Hallways were dirty and would have rubbish on them during the day. Heated pool was barely tolerable, it was so cold. Pillows were not suitable and beds were soft.

Additional $25 parking fee on top of the shown price. The room unfortunately had an issue with the temperature control system turning it into an oven. Reception said they would have an email sent to maintenance. After the 3rd attempt to have something done. A staff member checked and said it was turned off and it was like an oven, its now turn on to cool "give it 10 minutes and it should cool down, here is a drink voucher" which was a kind gesture. Unfortunately all it did was restart the heat. My Son had fallen asleep and it would have been too difficult to try change rooms. Needless to say it was a terrible sleepless night spending several hours opening up hallway door to allowing heat to escape the turned off unit. Very disappointed.
