Staff are very friendly and efficient. I like the ary deco and historical vibes of the building. The views of the park are lovely and the area is fantastic. Areas for improvement: our bed wasn’t very comfortable and the coffee/tea wasn’t topped up after the first day.

Clean rooms with very comfortable beds and pillows, and excellent staff. Slightly older property showing some wear but very charming atmosphere. There is municipal parking nearby that is very reasonably priced. The pool and fitness center are also well maintained.

Clean room with the exception of the sink as sadly there was a missed hair. Honest mistake I'm sure. Nice room with 24h gym. Pool available although found the water a bit cold which is another reason why I rated good vs excellent. There are floaties available for the kids as well. Supper was expensive but delicious. Breakfast is available where you can check off the time you'd like it to be served etc at a reasonable price.
