Some service issues
Service doesn't appear to be something that the hotel gets right all the time. Guests report varying experiences. For some, everything was fine but others describe booking errors, a sluggish check-in procedure, and staff that aren't always overly friendly.
negative:
Occasionally slow Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is another area that seems a little hit and miss. Plenty of guests were more than happy with the speed and reliability of Internet access yet others found the connection was sluggish and dropped out fairly regularly.
negative:
A little out of the way
While some guests appreciated the quiet surroundings of the hotel, others found it a little too out of the way with little in walking distance of the property. It does seem that a car would be beneficial if you are considering a stay here.
