6/10 Okay

The room was okay but the remote for the AC didn’t work. The plugs that are available don’t work for apple laptops chargers. The garbage been wasn’t cleared from the previous guest. There cleanliness of the room needs to be address
Taha, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Property is in a lovely location, however.., bath plug - release mechanism is faulty so unable to drain bath, air-con - sounds like a helicopter gunship, also currently no chef on site so they are unable to serve evening meals.

An enjoyable stay. The AC may not have worked in the room, but did not impact my enjoyment.
Duke, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly staff, pleasant dining option within the hotel in quiet residential neighbourhood a few minutes’ walk away from the local hospital. Rooms were clean and well maintained. No lift to upper floor. Free parking, and reasonable value when we stayed, and the breakfast was nice (extra charge).

4/10 Poor

Good: Room was clean, bed was comfy -slept fine. However, I wouldn't recommend unless you are in a pinch. Room (entire property) needs an upgrade, bedding and furnishings are very old and worn.

Karen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent service

First time staying here with my wife and her assistance dog. The staff were excellent from the moment we arrived, putting my wife at ease and respecting that the dog was working. For an executive room, it was a little small but had everything we needed. The breakfast was quite expensive (we didn't prebook it) but was excellent quality and, again, great service. We will definitely return.
