amazing stay

friendly staffquick check-ineasy accessdelicious meal
i found the staff greeted me warmly on arrival and check-in was quick. The hotel location allowed easy access to nearby attractions. The bar service was excellent, and i enjoyed the delicious and generous evening meal. every staff member was friendly and helpful.
the one very slight issue was that it sounded like the housekeeping hadn't fully shut the door. our door got slightly stuck and didn't close correctly because of the thick carpets. other than that i had a lovely experience.
