The reviewer who recently gave this venue a 5 must have been staying in a different room if not the different era that the hotel harks back to . . . My room was more like a long corridor positioned over the kitchen (smells) and adjacent to a large compressor system (noise). My window overlooked an extremely dank and dirty raised yard - so much for the advertised garden views . . WiFi was a joke and the business centre did not have a printer, so I was unable to print out the documents I required for an early morning meeting (staff tried the reception printer but the results were unusable). Missed breakfast due to the printer fiasco so can't comment on that . . .Yes the area is well positioned for business meetings - but there are choices . .

Most things were marginal about this hotel. Rooms are OK, but after staying in two separate rooms over two week period, I had to call the maintenance several times. Pool was not heated, and not usable. The entire property was old and generally uninviting. Breakfast was good, but inconsistent.
Overall, I would suggest looking elsewhere unless location is a must for you. There are no other options that I know of in this immediate area.

Staff were friendly and went out of their way to help, particularly with the several bags needed at the beginning of our month-long trip. The hotel has a warm, old-worldly feel. Lovely grounds and fine woodwork in hallways are well-maintained. Room was comfortable and quiet.

I stayed at Sunnyside Hotel for 4 nights in May 2011 for business travel and found it disappointing. Wireless access is spotty. No iron in the room (and put in a request to have one delivered but it never arrived. My toilet broke and I had to have a service man in my room twice. I used the gym everyday but the machines weren't very good. Also, the hotel is in a fairly remote location and they are reluctant to have taxis come into the grounds and instead always want you to use their shuttle service. The beds were great and the staff was nice. But overall a very disappointing experience. I would not return.
