We stayed here for one night as we were at a friends wedding reception nearby. Hotel was easy to find with plenty of free parking. Check in was hassle free and quick. The room was clean and a good size. My only issue (a small one at that) was the shower head pole was slightly loose. I let reception know and left it at that. The bar was well stocked and we had an hour there before going to the function. Reception ordered us a taxi which was on time and reasonably priced. Breakfast(free) was excellent with a good selection of cooked and cold food. We thoroughly enjoyed our night at this hotel and would definitely use it again.
