Pleasant

Liked: Easy check-in. Clean comfortable room.
Disliked: We didn't get breakfast because we had to set off early (just before before 8am) to join an 11 mile sponsored hike, and the hotel only serves breakfast between 8-9am. It would have been good to at least offer some self service breakfast before 8am (cereal, toast, fruit, tea & coffee).
