10/10 Excellent

"The staff in the tent are so friendly , helpful and professional.. I got a upgrade to a much larger room .. WiFi is excellent and the in bathroom is the best as height and power I’ve expierenced in any hotel I’ve stayed . The brunch until 1.30 is the best good choice hot and cold etc but the late serving no more dining room been overfull or waiting for table 👍 Overall I would award this establishment 9+. Keep up the standards Tent I will return again for sure"
