All staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. It was a treat having a full-service restaurant inside the hotel. Both the breakfast and dinner menu were great. I am not an eggs & bacon breakfast eater - our table server was cheerful and happy to pass on what I’d really like to eat, and the chef did a superb job. Our room was clean and well maintained, though I did find the pillows a little “lumpy”.
