My friend and i stayed at this hotel for a girlie weekend, hotel is excellent and very clean. Management was very good and very helpful including the staff that clean your room.

Went on Sunday for a 3 course Sunday lunch through a living social deal. Staff very friendly, great service, and the food was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for the waitresses. Definately go again even without a living social discount.
