the hotel has complimentary car parking right outside. the atmosphere was lovely. we appreciated the gallery bar, where we spent our evenings and found it to be a great addition. the entertainment was very enjoyable.
The building looks dated. the furniture in the room was old and partly broken. i also did not like that spa and swimming pool access required an extra charge.

I found the architecture of the building lovely. the views are superb. i appreciated that the staff were excellent and always ready to assist. the food was also a highlight. I enjoyed every meal i had.
My room was situated above the front bar. The noise from a wedding and hotel entertainment was quite loud one saturday night. this made it difficult to relax in my room that evening.
