Lovely hotel minutes from train station. Professional and friendly staff. Check-in with Irene was a joy! Numerous hospitality staff encountered on my travels would benefit from working along side her for a short while! Will definitely return early new year.

The room was clean, I found the bed comfortable but my partner felt the mattress was too hard. The room was too hot though, we had the a AC going to offset the heat at the end of November! Pool and gym were great!
