Room was spotless and very comfortable bed. The downstairs dining is absolutely elite which is great when you're travelling for work and you don't need to leave the hotel to find dinner. Highly recommend.

The room was okay. The front porch was very dusty. Had uncomfortable wire seating with a tiny low table. -There was no egg flip utensil. -No salt and pepper. Had to call reception and asked them to bring some. The bottom of the shower door was very dirty.
