Great location and good facilities but the lobby and outside bar area was so noisy with screaming children one night , it was like a children’s playground. I don’t mind kids having fun but this was out of control and the staff did nothing.

Fabulous hotel. Felt welcome from the first second we stepped into the property. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate special requests. The Italian restaurant and wood fired pizzas in the bar are also an added bonus. The bar is fantastic.
