"I honestly would give this a 3.5 rating instead of a 4, but it wasn't an option. This hotel is in a good location, but the rooms are very dated. The furniture is worn and tired. The baseboards, doors, and carpets are dented or torn. The upsides to the hotel are the restaurant and bar are great. The food, drinks and staff were all wonderful. I would not stay here again until they've updated the rooms."
"Very comfortable stay and everything clean. Really comfortable beds and all required amenities in room. Housekeeping staff all great, majority of staff in restaurant were excellent, same in bar.
Breakfast was excellent and though we did have to wait a bit, once seated, service was excellent. Gym a bit worn, could do with a facelift but pool and pool area lovely.
Would highly recommend a stay in the Castlecourt, Great location, lovely staff, great food. We will be back. Thank you :)"
