Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated well, close to major link roads, offering a good location with clean and comfortable rooms. The friendly staff provide excellent service, though the dining options could be improved in terms of variety. The facilities are well-maintained, making it a decent value for the price paid.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were warm, very clean, and fit for purpose, although the broken window caused a draft. The bathroom was modern, but the loud extractor fan was a nuisance. Dining felt strange and uninspiring with a lack of staff, yet the early spring views were lovely. The service was efficient and very friendly, although finding the entrance was a challenge. Overall, a decent stay for the price.
The hotel provided a comfortable stay with clean and well-equipped rooms, though cleanliness could be improved. The friendly and helpful service added to the overall experience, especially during breakfast. The convenient location and ample parking made it a worthwhile choice, despite some dining shortcomings.
The hotel's location is peaceful and beautiful, even though not perfectly clean. The rooms are of a good standard but show signs of wear and lack of proper cleaning. The service is friendly and accommodating. Dining was disappointing for the price paid. The serene atmosphere is a plus point despite mixed cleanliness. Value for money could be better.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. While the rooms were a bit bland and the courtyard view wasn't the most welcoming, they provided a comfortable night's sleep. The service, especially from Rebecca, was superb and very friendly, though there were some noise issues under our window. The location was convenient, close to major routes and only 5 minutes from the Lakeside shopping center. The dining experience was okay, with self-serve options but could have been better in terms of freshly cooked items. The facilities were in good condition, with a well-maintained pool.
