A clean, modern facility with welcoming staff. The only downside is the hotel is located on a one way street which makes it difficult to access but this wouldn’t put us off staying here again.

All the staff there, we found to be so friendly, efficient and very helpful. Thank you to the chefs in the bistro bar for the delicious meals. Steaks cooked to perfection. Clean premises and guest room. Carpet in our room, although clean, looked a bit worn and also the single chair in our room, the material was frayed at the armrest. However, the amazing staff there, made the experience 10/10.

Great place, room was sized perfect. I used the gym, a little small but had sufficient equipment. The hotel is at a higher rate so i was surprised that they charged a separate fee for covered parking. The outside free parks were taken by staff or you could park down the road on the street away from the hotel, a little inconvenient.

This hotel was pretty average. Rooms a little tight. Window views the parking lot. Had dinner at hotels restaurant. Lamb was excellent. Hotel parking wasn't very good. Shuttle buses blocked the entrance. No valet parking. Instructed to park across a busy street and remove my car by 8 o'clock next morning. Their were Tesla charging stations.
