I was delighted with how helpful the desk staff were at assisting with a late book in, allowing me to leave my car out the front so I could quickly find a resataurant before they all closed
Staff were all very professional but at the same time helpful and friendly. Very interested in their guests. A super atmosphere.

AS above. One front of house girl was efficient but had no friendliness or welcoming behaviour, The surprising absence of eating facilities was offset by Malo next door for fine evening dining bujt it was not open for breakfast.

Hi John, Thank you for your review and appreciate your comments. We do hope you received the information regarding Maina, a local cafe located just around the corner offering breakfast with charge back facilities available. Thank you once again. Warm regards
The hotel was in very good condition and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We also got an upgrade which was awesome. The room was in great condition and the mattress was amazing. The free onsite parking was also very convenient.
