This hotel is a gem! The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is super helpful, and the location is unbeatable. The only downside is the lack of included Wi-Fi and parking can be a bit pricey, but overall, it's a wonderful stay.

The hotel is perfectly located, right on The Meadows and close to great dining spots. The rooms are spacious and come with kitchen facilities, making the stay extra convenient. The service is top-notch, with excellent laundry options available. However, the dining, especially the availability of fresh fish, could be improved. The facilities meet expectations, and the overall value for money is great.
