9.6/10 Exceptional! (202 reviews)
Not an easy hotel to navigate especially if you have a car. Not sure how it’s 5 star. No restaurant other than small breakfast pantry. Would be great for hip young things who arrive by Uber and have business meetings out and about, rather than people wanting a relaxing hotel to enjoy facilities.
