My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were lovely, very modern and spacious, with a great en suite and shower, but there were issues with cleanliness in the breakfast area. The service was friendly and approachable, though somewhat flustered at times. The location was convenient for driving to places but had some drawbacks like construction noise nearby. The dining options were limited, and there were discrepancies in the quality of items provided. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was good overall. The room was comfortable and clean, but I was slightly disturbed by noise from the front entrance. The service was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient but not spacious. The dining experience exceeded my expectations. The facilities were more than adequate but the veg sausage roll was disappointing.
