"We enjoyed our stay at the hotel; the only downside was that the breakfast was very poor – there were absolutely no vegetables and no variety at all. Overall, it was very clean and the staff were excellent. We went to the hotel restaurant for dinner and the food there was excellent."
"Beautiful property. Adam was very helpful and kind upon check in. Room was nice. Loved the fact that this hotel had air conditioning (we arrived during a heat wave).
Plan ahead- there was no mini fridge in the suites.
There is a ice machine and water bottle filler, but no ice bucket so I had to walk to the machine with a mug for ice.
I'm a somewhat larger woman (16-18 US) and the robes provides were just barely too small so could not enjoy unfortunately."
"It was just okay. The rooms are dated and carpets could use a good cleaning. Rooms were very hot. Beds not super comfortable. The best part of the stay was Shanigan's Gastro Pub. I wouldn't go out of my way to stay there again."
