"Great location! Amazing staff! Great bar team!"
"The reception staff didn't seem interested in the guests. The exception was Ashley who was excellent"
"Room was clean wifi very good Only thing letting this hotel is they have a charge for parking"
"We needed a very late check in. The staff were very pleasant and helpful."
"Had a room in the old part of the hotel at the front which was a tad noisy from the traffic immediately outside. That said, everything else was good/excellent and this is a nice hotel in the centre of a lovely town."
"Disclaimer: Building was still undergoing renovation during my visit. Building - Even with that, this one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in. The reception/lobby/restaurant/bar area on the ground floor carries a good style and clean design. With a little exploration there are wonderful meeting and conference rooms, which were not in use when I went for a wander. Ammenities - Poked my head in the gym, there is a gym. Room carried the essentials, well supplied with coffee and tea. Very handy for me as it was a packed weekend. I would double check towels, some of mine had marks. But solo traveller, I used the 'spare' set with no difficulty. Staff were professional and helpful at every encounter. Though I didn't go to the bar or restaurant on this trip. The appearance of the space is encouraging."
"Nice hotel with good food and friendly staff . Can be a little pricey at times but overall very pleasant place to stay"
