Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Clean comfortable room, super king bed, good shower. No opening windows so patio door needs to be open with a restriction. Sunday roast was very good, a bit slow but 20 odd people showed up late & unexpected for a meal. Refurbished and modernised to a high standard.
