WHAT OTHERS SAY
Here is a sampling of unsolicited compliments from some of our guests:
The first time I made a visit was for lunch a couple of years ago, in the company of a previous manager of the Golf Hotel who wanted to show some of his senior staff just how high standards of cleanliness can be. Here, they are incredibly high. If cleanliness is next to Godliness, then Rondo must be right by the Pearly Gates.”
