The hotel location allowed for easy access to nearby shops. My room included a modern bathroom, and the shower was particularly good. The breakfast buffet had a great selection, and the chef replenished it regularly.

My room was EXTREMELY small for a standard room. Car parking was very tight, and difficult to maneuver in. I experienced a false fire alarm one morning with no explanation provided by the staff.
