"Clean and simple room. Free parking was handy. Pool and spa area were okay, but the jacuzzi is just bubbles (no jets) and it’s rather small. They are also strict about wearing a cap in the pool. Staff are helpful."

10/10 Excellent
"This was a beautiful, historic hotel. I did appreciate the size of our room. The only problem we encountered was we had to circle around until there was an opening for us to pull our car in to drop off our luggage and the car park is a bit of a walk away. I would definitely stay here again though."
