Oaks Gladstone Grand Hotel
Staff were friendly. Room was clean and well equipped. Although the rangehood worked well it looked like it needed replacing or a good clean. The wardrobe sliding doors had mirrors on them but on one the mirror didn't appear to be attached to the door, very loose. Nice restaurant with good food.
