The staff are excellent and helpful. The rooms are somewhat small, even the deluxe. Despite it being recently refurbished there are stains on the carpets throughout. They may have been better served with easy clean flooring. Parking is an issue unless you are lucky. We had a good nights sleep but the rooms are very warm.
