A nice hotel made better by its staff. Wonderful welcome and assistance on where to park and how to avoid the stairs with luggage. Everyone was very pleasant. Kimberly, at the spa, gave a fantastic deep tissue massage. When told that she should teach massage—she informed us that she does, at a local college. We loved our stay here.

Last time I stay at this hotel.
On check in the Valet parking service turned out to be "Park it yourself on a scruffy plot of land behind the boy scout hut 200meters from the hotel" . Great service in the rain!!! Told breakfast not included so paid the extra fee --then told we couldn't have breakfast between 7.30 am and 09.30am. Having booked 3 months previous I expected some customer SERVICE. Non existent. Will give this hotel a miss next time.

Very overwhelmed staff and difficult to park Not good vibes. The front is a beautiful view. We had to go downtown for breakfast. They said they had tour groups coming in and 7 and 10 were the only times available for breakfast~ turned out to be false. Lots of steps to get to lift. Room was very dark and too small of a bathroom.

No onsite parking. The staff is really why the poor review. Extremely uninformative, unhelpful, and rude. The room was very nice with a great view, but the bed was so lumpy and uncomfortable. Food was pretty good, just make sure you double confirm your booking because we had some issues. It’s way overpriced for what you get, the parking is really problematic, and the staff really just made our stay unenjoyable.

Disappointing Hotel which needs updating. Asked for a room on a low floor was given third floor but this was changed on request. No mention's that you can’t pay for anything using cash which was very annoying.
