Nice location, friendly staff. Rooms differ a lot. Common areas needed a good hoover as same paper rubbish was on the carpet for two days straight.We prefer the rooms at the back as we sleep with the windows open. Breakfast can get pretty busy and is buffet style . Some of the quality of food could be a lot better, especially bread, yoghurt,honey, juices but that's subjective. Overall a nice hotel .

Don’t read the reservations correctly

Upon arrival I was given a room, went up to my room to find 2 twin beds, I went back to reception told them there should be 3 beds that’s what I booked, I was given another room and told to wait approx 10 mins before we could go to it, We waited 10mins and I was given another room. So in the space of 20 mins I had been given 3 rooms.

Heather

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had in terms of cleanliness. I booked it online from the photos and a three star rating. The photos make this hotel seem great but the reality and the photos are very different. This is a two star hotel at best. The room smelled like mold/mildew even though we left the windows open and had a fan going the whole time. There were toenail clippings on the carpet from a previous guest! I got no sleep whatsoever due to the doors to the other rooms constantly being slammed by other guests around us. I could hear full conversations from rooms sharing walls and even the maid ignored the do not disturb sign and just walked in one morning. We ended up only staying two out of the five nights I had booked and stayed somewhere nicer the rest of the trip. So much money lost on a place that is not as advertised. I didn’t even try to get a refund because I just wanted to get out of there. I dropped over $1,000 to stay here…I’m so very disappointed.
