The spaces seem generously sized and well-appointed, with particular praise for the comfortable beds and impressive views from higher floors.

Adequate Accommodation

great location modern room friendly staff dusty surface small room room service
The location worked well for access to local venues. The room was modern and bright. The staff were friendly upon arrival.
The room was quite small and I found it disappointingly dirty with dusty surfaces. There was no room service. I had to collect toilet rolls from a room near reception.

Excellent Stay

numerous choices excellent service
The breakfast included numerous choices and options. The staff offered superb customer service throughout my stay. The health and fitness center was easily accessible, EVERYTHING was perfectly kept.
The in-room air conditioning system did not seem to efficiently cool the room. I could not open the windows for ventilation. This made the room uncomfortable during the night.

friendly staff allergen options mini fridge outdated gym unclean changing rooms loud air conditioning
the staff was friendly. i was impressed with the breakfast allergen options. there was a separate toaster in the kitchen for my gluten-free needs, and , made a big difference. i also found the mini fridge very convenient.
The gym was a bit outdated. the changing rooms weren't very clean. the jacuzzi was closed for my entire stay. I was a bit disappointed by that. the air conditioning was also quite loud and made the air very dry.

truncated menu unfresh fish
My visit encountered some issues. The menu's limited selection at dinner disappointed me. I ordered fish and chips, but the fish tasted far from fresh. It reminded me of a frozen product, and the chips lacked crispness. This meal didn't align with my expectations.
