Very nice Hotel. In house restaurant is very nice and very good. We stayed in a suite that had a living room area that is separated from the bedroom. The bathroom has a large bath tub with a very large walk in shower with a separate room where the toilet and sink is at. Living room and bedroom have their own Tv. Bed was comfy with large body like pillows.

The room was nice and the hotel was lovely, however the “gym” was tiny and the parking lot was very dark, so I felt a bit unsafe arriving at night.

Great hotel and our room is wonderful. Only issue is that that hotel did not say that their restaurant and bar are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Very disappointed in that as I was looking forward to treating my wife to a wonderful meal and evening. Headed to Byrne's Irish Bar near train station and were blessed with live Irish music from 6 to 8 on Tuesday.

Property is gorgeous inside, plenty of parking. Mattress was pretty uncomfortable with loud springs and shower tiles had some grime. New shower did not match the older vanity. But overall it’s a place to stay for the night
