the location proved convenient for accessing nearby attractions. i found the staff helpful and quick to respond to requests. the room i occupied featured a comfortable bed that was really inviting after a long day (i slept like a log!).
the corridors leading to my room had a noticeable smell i couldn't quite place. also, i found that the in-room coffee was not quite to my liking.

the arrival felt great, and the check in team were friendly. as a family, we got a single sofa bed in its own separate lounge. the space worked well for our eldest and our youngest slept in a cot. the room had everything we needed and was clean. i liked that.
The room was a bit warm. I struggled a bit to get the air conditioning working properly.
