We stayed one night at spicers for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. The rooms are stylish, clean and comfortable. The restaurant and rooftop bar are easily accessible from the rooms, with tasty and generous meal options. We loved the included and very generous breakfast. The staff were genuinely kind and polite, even allowing a 12pm check out time at our request. We will be back!
