Good hotel with decent facilities. Nice rooms, pool is a salt one, makes swimming a bit tough. Staff at front desk were excellent and the rest were good without being particularly friendly. Food was ok, breakfast fine without being exceptional. Marked it a 4 because for the cost and bar prices etc it was pretty good.

It was an OK stay. The staff was pleasant, the rooms are large, but window area cleanliness was not perfect when I arrived. It's a very nice hotel for a one to two-day tourism stay. I stayed for a week on a business trip. Breakfast did not have a lot of variety. Not sure I'll stay there again next time I am in town.

Pleasant hotel with a nice central pool. Food was plain and fairly uninteresting. Staff generally v helpful. One weird encounter with a waitress who evidently hadn't been taught that the customer comes first.
