white towels live music cover charge car park space

The bedrooms had a lovely and large design, a feature i really value. The shower area was big and stocked with fluffy white towels. Such attention to detail is so precious. Live music filled the air during happy hour on Friday evening, a tender moment. When i visited, drinks and snacks had a good 50% discount.

The staff seemed rather preoccupied, as female members were deep in conversation with some irish lads instead of tending to us. i was surprised by these oversights.
