The ensuite was large and modern and offered a great shower. AMAZINGLY, there were plenty of teas to choose from with daily replenishment and biscuits!

The dinner menu in our room was old. It was INACCURATE, so I was a little disappointed.

the room was clean and tidy. the staff are friendly and the food is good. i stayed here before as the location suited my needs. i had a comfy bed.

our waiter didn't notice that our drinks hadn't arrived , and when we told him , it took even more time. a pie was supposed to have "seasonal greens" with it , which in practice was one carrot cut in half ! the waiter took a long time to give us menus , and never returned to take an order.

the outside of the hotel looks tired on approach. i ordered the root veg curried soup however, it lacked seasoning. the sourdough bread tasted stale. the braised steak sauce left a vinegar aftertaste.

I found the room very spacious and clean. I also enjoyed the food and drink choices in the restaurant. Plenty of parking spots were available, and I had a great night's sleep in my cozy haven.

I noticed that the room we moved to seemed smaller. I ended up paying the same amount as before, though. the picture on the wall looked old, like it had fallen many times and wasn't stuck together well.
