I had a delightful experience at this hotel, with exceptional staff service that made my stay truly special. The private hot tub in my room was a luxurious touch that I thoroughly enjoyed. The cleanliness throughout the hotel was impressive, and I appreciated the warm welcome upon arrival. While the dining options were fantastic, particularly the quality of breakfast, I found that the evening atmosphere could be a bit crowded at times due to the pub area. Overall, it was a great value for the services offered.
