Liked: Amenities
Staying at this hotel was the most enjoyable experience of a hotel stay in my entire experience and I have stayed in a huge amount in my long life. Everyone was very kind and helpful, it was also very quiet, the room was perfect and clean with everything you could possibly imagine and was cleaned and replenished with everything every day and a nice touch was the little cookie pack replaced daily. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to all and would stay again in a heartbeat. 10/10 Gail stayed 5 October for 5 nights.
