"Overall clean, comfortable and great location. Wasn’t advised before arrival that evening meals are no longer served however you can dine at the sister hotel with a 10% discount. Also after standing in a queue at reception (for a drink from the bar) for around 10mins getting to the front and told by the receptionist that she couldn’t serve me, she was the only one working and had to see to those checking in first and asked me to come back later!!!!!!"
"Quaint great view from windows big room no ac but windows opened wide and great local downtown near fun bars and shops, had lift but con was there were many steps up to get to room from the lift, had breakfast included"
"Lovely hotel but poor staffing and a terrible restaurant. Staff unfriendly and indifferent. Restaurant food quality poor, meals took forever to arrive and staff untrained or unsuitable."
"The main property was nice but don’t be deceived. There is an outbuilding where we were placed. It was old, carpets dirty, and just not what I expected for the price we paid. The grounds are nice but this is located in the city in a neighborhood. I felt it was misrepresented. That said, their scones were good."
