Lovely place to stay parking is terrible. Just because you “book” parking when booking your stay doesn’t mean you will get on site parking.

Just ok for the price - not as good as other HIE hotels I’ve stayed in, and considerably more expensive. Don’t bother upgrading to a balcony room as the construction going on next door makes it impossible to use in peace and there’s no view to be had.

Average

Breakfast was very average- long lines at buffet and lots of items not replenished and range of foods was very limited. Parking was a mission- after check out we had to pay then go back to reception and get reimbursed. Room was modern and clean but blankets would have been nice.
