ABSOLUTELY fantastic stay!

polite staff evening music celiac needs

The staff was SO nice and polite. They gave information about live evening music. The food was AMAZING!!! They even catered for celiac needs, a HUGE help. The on-site manager was amazing, and staff followed his lead.

The hotel is a little way out of town. Buses were unreliable, so taxis or a hire car were necessary to go anywhere. I suffered with several mosquito bites. It is not a five star hotel.
