Very nice, large hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast buffet. Our room needed blackout shades or curtains since it was mid-summer. The toilet ran after flushing at times.

Love this hotel!
Second stay here in a few weeks. One night on tour + one night self funded. Love that reception happy to let me stay in the same room despite different room types booked.
Comfortable room with mod-cons.
Very accomodating staff, great beer garden with excellent bar food and wine.
Except for the lack of blockout blinds in summer, can’t fault this hotel. Excellent!
