The breakfast was good, very efficient and quick,Everything was good.The staff was helpful, and kind.The room was nice and clean, I would go back again anytime.
Former Officer's Club now a big hotel. Nice single room with a large bathroom. I was allowed to take my bicycle to the room, which on a tour is quite practical. Nice breakfast also.
The front staff was great and very helpful. The evening staff and menu selection was not that great. There was a coach tour that which appeared to take priority over all other guests
