The food was very tasty with an excellent selection. Parking existed all around the hotel!

UNDERWHELMING stay OVERALL
small room slow service
The swimming POOL was nice. It looked clean.
The room we got was much SMALLER than advertised. It was cramped and difficult to move AROUND. The breakfast service was really slow. We waited over an hour for our food and it was disappointing, especially the avocado dish.

Really good Food and Dog-Friendly Atmosphere
excellent food friendly service dog-friendly hotel separate area
I stayed two nights. The restaurant food and service were AMAZING!!! I chose to eat there both evenings. The hotel is dog friendly. Separate dining areas accommodate dogs for breakfast and dinner. The breakfast set me up each day for walks around this area. The hotel has a drying room. My coats were dry by morning.
The bathroom was quite dated for the cost of a beautiful double room.

The bar offered a wide range of beers. The bar staff members were superb. A staff member who had recently started was very helpful, polite, and friendly.

Parking spaces were tight. I arrived late afternoon. I was offered an alternative parking space just down the road. One can park on the street in the evenings. The public car park is nearby.
