The Stanley

8/10 Good

"We came in late and left early so didn’t really get to enjoy the hotel. Restaurant and patio/pool looked quite beautiful. Staff was great, 24hr service and valet. It’s a very large hotel. The room was newly renovated and very nice. Halls a bit beat up as a large/busy hotel will be. Not sure on location as we didn’t leave, but it’s certainly not as central as being in old town."
