Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We only stayed for one night, but it was a great hotel. Everything was clean and in a good state of repair. The room was huge and had everything we needed, e.g. coffee machine, iron, TV, etc. Breakfast was pretty good, I liked the combination of ordering your main dish but being able to help yourself to cereal, fruit, pastries, drinks, etc. I had eggs royale and it was good. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is all parts of the hotel other than where we had breakfast are quite dated - nothing is damaged or looking worn out at all, it's just the style of everything. I imagine it looked incredible about 20-30 years ago.
