The rooms were quiet and in excellent condition and the staff was friendly and helpful. There is also a nice bar and a restaurant in the facility. The only complaint was that the wi-fi did not work during much of our stay.

Adequate for weekend / overnight stay
Hotel situated a km away from town centre. Limited parking out front but large parking out back.
Room comfortable and clean, with cot as requested.
Service in the reception and restaurants was very good.
Food tasty though some cleanliness concerns.
Leisure facilities, more so the change rooms are dated.

Excellent
Excellent experience. Reception staff on arrival was very welcoming as were others. Room was excellent at a great rate. Found hotel to be very clean. One minor issue was the bar. Service maybe a bit slow even though not overly busy. Overall very satisfied and would definitely recommend and return.
