Location - Great, can’t fault location. Hotel Room - some furniture Outdated made the room appear dark. Bathroom - Shower over Bathroom. Hopping into the bath you must be careful if you have knee instability. No place for hand towels or hooks for towels. Toilet pressure not great. Air conditioning didn’t seem to work properly. Told reception. Room phone not working, light in entry area of room not working Served tea and two cups were dirty, told staff member. Next day at breakfast found another dirty cup, told the Chef this was the 2nd time. Breakfast good selection. This would not be my first choice next time even IF location is great.

This property is in a stunning location. The view from my room is amazing. The only thing I would say is the room is a little snug so much so that you can’t even open the main door to the room fully. You definitely pay for the views here. That said the staff were very friendly and our room was clean. Lovely location. Would definitely recommend. The size of the room is the only reason this hotel doesn’t get a 5 star review.

Great stay. Property and staff were excellent. The breakfast was well worth the extra cost. Centrally located and next to the park which was very nice. Only issue was the AC didn’t work the first night but they gave us a new room the 2nd night
