helpful staffsoft skinmanager absence
The staff helped sort out cabs since I was attending Newmarket races.
The slow roasted pork I had for dinner was not good. The skin was soft and slimy. I told the waitress, who said the chef replied 'Sorry,' but no manager ever came. I left that night, forfeiting the second night I had paid for (a bit annoying).

Wonderful Stay

helpful staffafternoon tealarge breakfastslimited car parking
The staff was great. They took very good care of our family member. They helped her with any concerns or questions. The whole staff could not do enough to help and were very nice. We also had a very nice afternoon tea, and several excellent and large breakfasts were provided.
I noticed a limited car parking. Finding a space took a little longer.
