This property is at the edge of town, but if you have a car and want less hassle with parking and crowds, stay here. The staff is very nice, and they have a popular bar and cafeteria, even at the edge of town

Utter garbage and shocking treatment
Shocking treatment by both the hotel and hotels.com
We were treated with utter contempt by the venue who after much complaining refunded some of our money, very small percentage.
Hotels.com also refused to refund the rewards used even though they mis sold the services and standard of the hotel.
Hotels.com service even worse than the hotel, as a loyal customer with in excess of 1000 booking over 10 years I am disgusted.
Both should be ashamed of themselves
