I stay here a lot, every year, However the food and drink options in the club lounge seem to have deteriorated every year, not sure the benefits of the club lounge are worth it any more, may as well pay for the cheaper rooms. New club lounge staff have no idea of what customer service is either, they need to learn from the old hands who are excellent. Also the aircon in the apartments is almost useless, just not cold at all, they need to look at that. I changed after one night to another apartment room but the aircon was just as bad in that room too. Most days the food at breakfast downstairs was cold and the coffee from the machines was always only luke warm, I pointed this out many times and nothing was changed.
