I found location ideal for exploring. Staff are polite and they are informative about the area with a constant smile. The hotel itself is lovely and i found art all over the hotel is quirky. It made me smile a lot.

I think the bar areas feels not cute. It have a waiting room vibe and hard seats.

our allocated room had a drain smell in the bathroom. the carpets also had stains and the blind was faulty and looked old. there should have been more vegetarian choices in the restaurant.

The breakfast selection was amazing with fresh pastries, fruit, and a buffet. the spa facilities were excellent, i loved that you can access the spa even after checkout. It's a nice touch. ample parking spaces are available too!

The pillows were flat, they were old and i would say worn. i had to use the complimentary dressing gowns to prop myself up to get to sleep. It was not total comfort at all.
