amazing location, great staff and lovely room. I would definitely stay there again. Only reason I don’t give it all 5s is breakfast and pool are at sister hotel which is slightly inconvenient (or maybe I’m just too picky; it was just down the side of the building to the adjacent hotel).
Hotel location is absolutely perfect.
