Check in staff member was very friendly. Room was clean, and bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately I would not stay here again, due to the noise, They had Music till 2am which did not bother us at all, but the noise coming from what I assume was the smokers area was terrible, we were on the 3rd floor and we could hear all conversations word for word and felt like they were right outside our window.

Beds were comfortable and it was spacious for a family. I would not stay here again as it was very noisy can hear people next door and above you. It is right near a nightclub which goes till 2am. So if you are staying to get some sleep forget it. There were cockroaches in our room as well. Had dinner at the adjoining pub but staff were not very friendly. I do not recommend staying here.

Very Clean Property. Meals were excellent! I would have been very happy with this property, except for the very soft mattress, my preference is a firm mattress. Continental Breakfast was not in room and not provided on check-in. (Just a note for reception as it would have been appreciated if it had been provided on check-in,)

One night passing through Emerald.

Room was decidedly average compared to photos. A lot of noise from other guests. Staff did ask them to turn it down and it did improve but still not great. Food in the restaurant was good and staff pleasant and helpful.
