The location was central , providing easy access to local attractions. The complimentary minibar was stocked with good local beverages , a very nice touch after a day of exploring.
Our room felt a bit small , it lacked space to comfortably accommodate luggage. The restaurant staff , while generally polite , seemed a little slow during peak hours.

The hotel is near Waverly Bridge. This made it easy, as the airport bus dropped me off close by. I received a champagne glass upon check in along with a voucher for two more glasses later. The complimentary minibar was also useful.
