The staff are very kind and helpful. My only suggestion is you use a local coffee roaster called Rockbern for the coffee you serve in your restaurants. They do a fantastic job and I think your guests would enjoy their coffee. Thank you for everything I had a wonderful stay.

The best thing if the hotel is the STAFF: adorable… Location is also one of the bests in town! Room is like many others of the chain, but comfortable. Did not have time to check spa! The pool seemed fun for the kids - not my style. Breakfast is good.
