Friendly and attentive staff, nice room and a great vibe. The hire fee was also minimal and minimum spend felt like good value.
Food could have been improved. I felt the choice was limited for à la carte buffet items Also fairly expensive for the quality. Room was quite small but I expected that. Generally I would recommend this venue though!
