"The Horizon hotel was lovely and new, with very comfortable rooms with all the amenities. I had a lovely stay. I did have to queue for both check in and check out, so would have been good to have more staff on, but otherwise can’t complain. Thank you :)"
"Room was clean and amenities are provided as advertised. Staff are really nice and flexible. Allowing me to keep our car in the basement until lunch hr after we checked-out."
