The hotel rooms, easily sleeping 4 people with basic kitchen facilities, were large, comfortable, and very clean, though a little dated. The service was excellent, with the staff being friendly and helpful. The location was convenient to various attractions and amenities, making it a lovely choice for travelers. However, the dining experience was below par, and it could be better. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
