Excellent Dining and Comfortable Suite
great choice junior suite reasonable price
The food was superb. There was much choice on the menu. I added an extra night to try other menu items! Our junior suite was enormous and had lots of room. It was at a reasonable price.
I had to leave the bar early. There was no alternative seating available apart from my room. I would have liked to finish my drinks in a different area.

small suite broken remote
I was a bit let down by a couple of things. our "junior suite" felt more like a standard room. I was expecting a bit more space. the tv remote also didn't work properly, so we had to get up and manually change the channels each time. it wasn't a huge deal, but slightly annoying..
