Fantastic experience
The room, common areas, and staff were all absolutely fantastic. We had a late flight out on our checkout day and they allowed us to pay a 1/2 day rate to check out at 6pm.
We didn't sample the restaurants, but the bar makes a terrific cocktail

Excellent hotel
We had a great stay overall with great staff both at hotel and bar. However,the Sunday hotel staff was very nonchalant and seemed unbothered with assisting us with anything. Eg,we got umbrellas from the morning staff without any issue as they knew we would return/pay for them if lost but the night staff seemed to be surprised we were asking for umbrellas when we went out.the porter that evenring also was a 👎 for us. Your staff needs to know that clients will ask for help,directions,recommendations etc,in my opinion thats part of the job. We didnt feel valued by them as clients. The morning team more than made up for it though.

Very nice place to stay. It would be good if they could look into moving the current smoking area. It is very close to the outdoor dining patio and smoke blows to that ate while you are eating. A few area are in need of refurbish. I really love the location.m, and the very warm welcoming staff.
