Great location and friendly staff. Excellent food at the restaurant.
Booked an ‘executive twin room’. Tried to put us in a double room first off. The room was dirty, very worn but had a great view. Beware the bats happy hour as quite misleading, only certain wines and spirits are included but this isn’t advertised nor are you told.
