Absolutely Amazing Stay!

smooth check-in charging sockets great selection excellent service
Check-in was super smooth, and my room, the Beautiful Double Room Sage, blew me away! I noticed convenient phone charging sockets all over. Breakfast offered a great selection, I really enjoyed my salmon with scrambled eggs on toast. I definitely plan to return!
The bar meals on Sunday evening ended quite early. It would be great to have later options!
