Latest Reviews
Our whole family was here to attend a family function and we stayed at this hotel for couple of nights. I requested for accessible room and got one luckily. The room was easily accessible on the first floor, with plenty of space for a wheelchair. The en-suite is similarly spacious and is a full wet room with a seat in the shower. The en suite was well laid out, but there was only one washbasin, and it is of the compact type. There was plenty of room for a full-size basin, and it is hard to understand why the compact type has been fitted. The food was delicious and room service was excellent. Staff was attentive and helpful all the time.
