The room was a good size! It was surprisingly quiet despite the hotel's proximity to the airport. Breakfast was a hot buffet and it was nice.

The restaurant menu seemed quite bland. Service was very slow. I got tired of waiting for dessert. They told me I could not be seated because I had not booked a table even though there were empty tables.

A Dream Wedding Day!

complete confidencecalm controlgentle guidancefriendly staff

Our wedding day was more than a dream. Hayley, who showed us the hotel, filled us with confidence for our special day. Sue and Suzanna were calm and in control. They made the day run smooth and their kindness was much appreciated. The room setup for the ceremony and dinner was amazing. All hotel staff were cute, and the companies you recommended were fantastic.

The frosted portion of the window in our Executive corner room obstructed a part of the view. We had to press hard on both buttons to flush the toilet.
