Staff were friendly, room was hot and stuffy
No window, AC wasn't working. Incredibly stuffy and hot overnight. No top sheet so had to choose between no blankets or a down comforter.

Thanks but no thanks
Not as per expectations. It is not a bad facility overall, but be advised. There are only five parking spaces and you can get blocked in by double parking quite easily. The very nice competent security guard helped me park my car in a suitable space the moment one became free, but without him it was impossible. It is a Wetherspoons bar, I was not aware of this on booking, be advised quite busy and exuberant. Room was clean but dark with only a skylight no window.

Our stay was great. There is a very busy bar downstairs but the rooms were clean and quiet and nicely appointed. Parking was tight in the lot but we managed. A quick walk to The Old Schoolhouse for dinner- it was a great spot to stay before heading to the airport in morning.

We were initially very excited to stay at this hotel.. however, the pictures of the rooms and the one we got were entirely different. There wasn’t any stone feature wall in our room, there wasn’t even a window. The corners of the room and walls were extremely dusty where I had to wet a hand towel and wipe them down. I don’t think the room had been properly vacuumed in a while. At least the linens were clean and the washroom surfaces were decent. Overall, disappointed with the room at this hotel.
