Excellent Food and Relaxing Spa Treatments

spacious room efficient check-in friendly therapist
My partner and I enjoyed a 2-night stay. Check-in was efficient, and the room was spacious with fresh decor. The bed was really big and comfy. I found the spa treatments included in our package particularly enjoyable (especially the back massage from the friendly therapist).
The fire alarm went off at 2am on our second night. It really scared us and made it difficult to get back to sleep afterwards.
