AMAZING FOOD AND STAFF

amazing stafffantastic roomspot dessertnoisy vent
I stayed one night and the staff were AMAZING. the rooms are fantastic in size and decor. the rib room is always spot on for steaks and deserts. breakfast is amazing. Margaret served it to us. the hotel serves breakfast up to 10am, so there is no rush.
The room was small with noisy extraction vents on the flat roof outside. there was no soap dispenser in shower. Just silly little inconvenient bottles.
Service
