I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly attentive, congratulating me on my Silver Wedding Anniversary and sending complimentary cakes to my room. The attention to detail was remarkable and the hotel facilities were top-notch. My suite was spacious and bright, with windows that blocked out any noise from the roadworks nearby. The location was perfect, with major attractions close by, and the hotel even offered a car pick up and drop off service. The food in the Bistro exceeded my expectations, and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning. the staff, cleanliness, facilities, location, and transportation services truly made this a memorable experience.
Don't have any issues at all.
