The staff were very friendly and professional. the room was fairly clean. i got a caramel latte made by the barista in the morning. It was the best coffee.
There is insufficient parking. the hotel should not accept additional bookings when they can't provide a car space. the wifi code had to be sought. Surely it could be provided with the compendium. i had no mobile phone reception inside the hotel.

Our room was larger than most. The ensuite was really spacious. The bedding and furniture were classy. Staff were friendly particularly with parking. We enjoyed an evening drink in the rooftop bar. Then we had a lovely dinner. The sunset was special.
The lighting in my room was too bright. All ceiling lights came on at the same time. The bed lights were a little high for reading in bed.
