10/10 Exceptional

Incredible hotel, beautiful rooms (especially for the price) and a great old mining town vibe inside. All the staff were incredibly friendly and the food at the bar was excellent and well priced, I didn't have a chance to eat at the restaurant but it looked good as well. Only issue is that the wifi is very slow but that's fairly expected for the location so not a big deal.
