Excellent stay

clean room quality toiletries nice view

The room was well proportioned and decorated. It was very clean. The bathroom included quality toiletries. I found the beer garden quite pleasant. I particularly enjoyed dinner in the restaurant and the nice garden view during breakfast. There was a great choice of breakfast items.

I noticed rooms facing the road could clearly hear traffic. The inadequate window fixings were probably the cause.

lackluster experience, sadly

outdated decor broken tv

i gotta say, the room were a bit of a letdown. the outdated decor really struck me, and it didn't feel worth what i paid. the bathroom also was like it hadnt seen a good upgrade in ages. the shower was spraying everywhere when using the shower head and the tv in the lounge area didnt work. i wasn't asked about my stay when i checked out. the receptionist just took the key off me and said thanks. i've stayed in better rooms elsewhere for much less.

a good boxing day celebration

boxing day menu flavor burst professional staff

we enjoyed boxing day at this place, and it went beyond any expectation i could have held. the boxing day menu was a delight. each dish tasted marvelous, had flavors bursting in my mouth, and it had beauty. the staff was helpful, gentle, and professional. they always made sure to take care of everything without intrusion.

it proved difficult to access the restroom area, mainly due to an event occupying much of the space. to reach the accessible bathroom, my father had to use the car park. it was a bit frustrating, as this has not happened before. i hope there will be improvements soon.
