I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were extremely comfortable, but the low-mounted TV was a bit awkward for me with bad knees. The service was top-notch, especially Dylan who provided fantastic recommendations for nearby bars and restaurants. The location is brilliant, with a range of dining options just across the road. The dining experience was unexpected but wonderful, and the self-serve coffee and tea bar was a nice touch.
