A Beautiful Event Space and Helpful Staff

romantic atmospherehelpful stafftender servicelovely stay
We visited for a funeral, and the hotel hosted the wake. The event space had a very romantic atmosphere. Chris, Shona, and Stacy looked after us, and I found them kind and happy to help us, a tender service. the stay was lovely despite the circumstances.
The signage for the car park was unclear, which caused some initial confusion upon arrival. I eventually found my way, but better directions would definitely improve the experience.

An Okayish Stay, I Guess

sufficient selectionstreet noisedated decor
The breakfast was acceptable. It had a sufficient selection of items.
I was placed in a Standard Single Room and it was tiny. The noise from the street below made it difficult to sleep, even with the windows closed and the dated decor did not help much. The room was like a time capsule, and not in a good way. the promised complimentary toiletries were sparse. I had to request more shampoo from the front desk.
