the hotel had a really good breakfast. i had pre-booked parking which was very convenient. the location was excellent, close to the town centre.

The bar manager seemed rattled by a large party wanting to start a tab. my passion fruit martini was excessively sweet, because of the syrups. my daughter's mojito was not good. She left more than half of it.
