Absolutely Fabulous Stay!

friendly staffroom upgradedelicious breakfastloud music

The hotel's presentation impressed me upon arrival! The staff were friendly and polite. The manager upgraded our room because it was my partner's birthday! Breakfast in the morning ranked as one of the best I have ever enjoyed.

The loud music vibrated through the room. The music was like trying to sleep in the middle of a nightclub! The noise stopped at midnight.
