the staff demonstrated a very high level of professionalism. the decor looked immaculate, clearly recently refurbished. whisky tasting was a nice experience and included a selection of good drams.
upon arrival, i found out there were no parking options directly in front of the hotel. the room size was smaller than i anticipated given the price. the window view was partially obscured by dirt.
