Previous guests agree the food served at this hotel is one of the highlights, and the fact that it can be enjoyed in such an appealing, warm, friendly atmosphere only enhances the dining experience. Reviewers found the art deco design very appealing, and the service excellent.
Overall this inn is judged to be great value for money. Previous guests say the entire hotel is very clean, the rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, the grounds and views are beautiful, and the top-quality restaurant and bar are a bonus.
Reviewers agree that the wireless internet connection is both strong and reliable throughout the hotel.
Previous guests say that had they not dined at the restaurant, it would still be obvious the food is excellent based purely on how popular the venue is. For some the popularity was not so positive as it meant they had a rather busy meal, but this did not affect the level of service or quality of food and most previous guests felt the hotel deserves the popularity it enjoys.
The hotel offers free on-site parking but previous guests say it can be very difficult to park during the restaurant's peak times due to the number of cars from diners. Some felt there should be additional facilities for hotel guests only, such as parking and a communal lounge.
