Liked: Cleanliness
Room was not great - mine was the "Westgate Suite" and was old fashioned with a TV that didn't work properly (I wasn't bothered as I didn't need it but others will be) and a shower system that looked "fancy" with various jets pointing at the body as well as the overhead but, in reality, was totally ineffective. Dinner in the bar area was bland, soggy and not very nice - I did feed back at the time and was met with a blank stare and an apology of sorts.

I recently stayed at this place and overall the experience was decent, but there were noticeable issues with the heaters. The room never really warmed up, even after adjusting the controls multiple times. It made the room uncomfortable, especially at night. This place has potential, but they definitely need to address the heating system before I’d consider returning.
