Excellent stay and top quality chef.
The room was very large and welcoming with lots of good quality amenities. Staff so pleasant especially in the dining room and food there of excellent quality. Our favourite stay on our American/Canadian holiday. One suggestion that would make it easier next time on check in is if they could have a lower desk as it was very hard to speak to staff and sign in with the high desk in reception when I was in my wheelchair.

Property is in need of a facelift, the lobby present’s well; however that’s where it ends. The Hallways and rooms are dated and need to be updated , the website images do not reflect the reality of the hotel. Definitely over priced for the condition. Stay away

This hotel is a real gem. It's conveniently located near the major sites, and the property boasts a nice combination of old school Grand Hotel charm with moderate amenities. The hotel staff are great, however the concierge, Kari, went out of her way to be helpful. There's lots of good dining in the area but don't overlook the hotel's Arms restaurant, which is excellent.
