Overall we were happy with the hotel and would recommend

9.0

Excellent breakfast, good house keeping

Unable to get ex-service discount over the phone with 'Blue Card' number. Because I did not do it on line I was unable to get the discount, which I found disappointing. Could do with more clothing space

Enjoyed every day.

9.0

Breakfast was very good, lots of choice. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. Air conditioning was working and very efficient. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Having 2 chairs in a room designed for two people would have been helpful.
