Great experience overall! Staff were really nice and the rooms had a great view. I think the small stuff were all really nice like getting free bus passes, the coffee and tea options, and how accessible the parking is. The outdoor hot tub and fire was cool, definitely can get busy as it's a great way to end your night after a long day out. It is slightly further away from the main area in terms of walking but the bus stop is right outside the hotel, so still very accessible.
