Fabulous!

Another fabulous stay at this fantastic hotel. Love the themed rooms and interesting decor throughout the place. Fabulous breakfast. It would be good if there was recycling in the kitchen area - no where to put cleaned yogurt pottels etc. In the rooms recycling is promoted but not in the kitchen area where there is glass and plastic that can be recycled going straight in the bin destined for landfill.
