Great staff
Caring staff, I fell outside the hotel trying to man handle bags onto my back. The staff were there in seconds, helping me and taking my bags. The manager, Adrian took my bags to my room, came back with ice packs and informed me that if I needed he could organise medical help. The restaurant had a small but appetising menu and again the staff were friendly and helpful.
