It’s a shame because it is a very pretty hotel with a beautiful restaurant and bar and cafe attached, but I would never stay there again. We came back to our room late afternoon and the beds were not made, only a couple bath towels replaced but left no hand towels or washcloths. There is no bath mat towel. The coffee packets were not replaced. I went to the lobby to complain and just so happened to hear the receptionist on the phone with another guest who was saying their room hadn’t been serviced. I told her we don’t care about the beds but would like more coffee and some hand towels. She wrote down my room number and said it would be taken care of. We came back about 10 o’clock that evening and it still had not been done. I went to the lobby again and waited while the receptionist left the front desk and ran off to get the towels. The front desk staff are very pleasant and friendly, but there is apparently a cleaning staff shortage. It sounds minor but it’s the little things that determine whether someone comes back again when there are so many other choices of hotels to stay.

Excellent hotel located very close to the train and bus stations as well as the centre of town. Staff was very helpful. Our room was large, comfortable and clean. We had dinner one night in the hotel restaurant and the food was excellent. Considering how busy it was, many locals feel the same way.

Wonderful staff!
I made an error when booking. I didn’t realize only the “superior” rooms had air conditioning. Tom at the hotel was extremely helpful and not only assisted me in a room change but moved our bags into the new (air conditioned) room when we were out touring. He truly went above and beyond to accommodate us. The hotel location is great. Easily walkable area with quick access to restaurants and shops. Off site parking was easy and the hotel was quick to validate the ticket so I paid a discounted rate. The checkin was easy, staff lovely.
