Excellent Culinary Experience

“I had dinner at the hotel's restaurant on Saturday night, and I must say the food was truly excellent. The chef prepared a good array of dishes that were not only flavorful but beautifully presented. Breakfast was equally excellent, with a nice variety of options, ensuring a great start to my day.” view full review

Perfect Event Space

“I hired the Gatsby Suite for my husband's surprise 60th birthday party, and it was the perfect venue. The suite was spacious enough for 65 guests with round tables that encouraged conversation. There was even a dedicated bar and a DJ included, making the celebration truly nice. The flexibility in accommodating my cake and decorations was a big plus!” view full review

Comfortable Accommodations

“I stayed in a lovely small double room that was spacious and very comfortable. It had a TV and a fridge stocked with complimentary still and sparkling water. The bathroom was surprisingly big, a good touch. I appreciated the tea, coffee, and biscuits provided in the room too.” view full review

Convenient Parking Options

“One of the highlights for me was the availability of parking at the hotel. There were ample options for both guest parking and roadside parking, making it easy for my family and friends to attend the birthday party without worrying about where to leave their cars.” view full review
