10/10 Exceptional

Loved our stay! A little bit off the main downtown area which we appreciated because it wasn’t too crowded. Both the hotel and next door property had dog-friendly patios which we enjoyed, as there was a lot of construction downtown that shut down some other dog-friendly spaces that we were unable to visit.

Completely renovated property, clean and fresh. Great location as not too close to downtown core. Restaurant too expensive for what it offers. Would be great to have a simple complimentary drip coffee for guest leaving early….

Breakfast was not included but the coffee pour over was nice 👍 enjoyed the hot tub once during our 3 day stay, prob not worth the extra cost unless you’re gonna use that every day as it was very expensive $1800+ for 3 days 😳

8/10 Very good

Great hotel, decorated sophisticatedly, excellent, very clean and high spec rooms, especially good shower, excellent hot pool area, excellent restaurant, although the menu is a bit limited and a bit expensive, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The drawbacks were that all the rooms seem to be very overlooked by other rooms because of the hotel's layout, there was nowhere to have your suitcases in your room and the tea and coffee arrangements were unnecessarily fussy and difficult...who pours milk from a small thin storage jar which doesn't have a pouring spout? We loved the complimentary bus tickets into town and loved the town itself, which is busy with lots of tourists but in a nice, not an annoying way.
