Quite dissatisfied

I’ll be at my wife and I were excited to stay here but could not do to an emergency surgery. I was very disappointed that I was yet charged fully for the stay. I do plan on coming back next year, but not sure if I would choose this property. The proper thing to do would have been to give credit upon such a condition.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed two great dinners, with all food hot and tasty. Good breakfast buffet too. Wish there was shuttle service back and forth to town, we would have even paid a fee. You can walk to town, but some guests may struggle. We did get free shuttle to train station on departure, which was much appreciated.
