"Good parking and great early check in support. They rang to advise when room was ready.. Got upgraded, room was a little tired but clean. Nice toiletries. Had dinner there that night, food was very good, we did shared plates. Charges were reasonable. I had prepaid for the breakfast, sadly that was mediocre not worth the price. Overall Lower score as the restaurant staff at both sittings were terrible. Had to keep calling them for service. The manager on the Friday morning was very rude when I asked about getting a barista coffee.and didn't oversee her team who were giggling and ignoring customers. However the staff were young. Having said all that, I do recommend and would stay again.. . "
