Knowledge from staff very well received. All amenities excellent. fantastic size of tv but maybe too big for the time you stay, would have preferred smaller tv and a mirror on wall for drying hair, make-up etc. Still a great hotel! Thanks McKays.. Mrs.B.

The accommodations were great, however there was a lot of noise from the street and the windows didn’t seal properly. Not a big issue, but could be better. Staff and food in the restaurant was excellent. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

There was nothing wrong with this property. Our room was fine but access to the rooms, out the back of the restaurant having walked past people eating, was not ideal. I had to report the hairdryer as it was making a terrible noise and overheated which I feared could be dangerous. Breakfast was satisfactory.
