Room was very comfortable as was the bed. However what I didn't appreciate is dispite the fact the hotel was quite full the restaurant was closed on Sunday night, it was easter sunday but other restaurants had opened. I had been looking forward to dining there again as the food was delicious. It was raining heavily and i was forced to drive to find somewhere else to eat. Didnt think that was good service for their guests.
