I find hotel accommodation a generally pretty ordinary experience. I was part of a small group for an overnight meeting. For a start their room rate was over $100 cheaper per person per night than the normal hotel we stay at a few 100 metres away so we chose this. The quality was very high - very clean, recently refurbished rooms and excellent service.
But the real surprise was the hotel restaurant. I usually prefer to eat at external restaurants because hotel food is often run-of-the-mill. However our group wanted to eat at the hotel restaurant. That was a great surprise. Very high quality total experience. The seafood platter was exceptional in terms of quality, quantity and price. We all appreciated the meals we had and the others also rated their desserts as excellent (I couldn't manage a dessert). Go there!
