A Good Escape

discounted drinks great service speedy check-in

I found much charm in the bar area. Half-price drinks brought much joy to our evenings after theatre. The lady looking after the bar was great, she provided amazing service even when it was late and busy. I also enjoyed a speedy check-in.

The chairs in the entertainment room were not very comfortable.

Location

8/10

The hotel is located a fair distance from the town. Getting a cab became necessary for traveling into town. It is a consideration for those with mobility challenges.

My room had daily service and was a good size. The cleaner was thorough and kept everything super clean. The fresh towels are always a nice little touch.
