Four to COVID there was a real bare experience for a hotel. We paid for a buffet but got a order service and it took 30min for our first order for drinks and an hour for food. Just wish we knew otherwise would have not paid extra. Hotel should have advertised that I’m booking and lower price

Great location, very friendly staff, checkin was 2pm had to wait till after 3 for our room to be ready then the next day our room wasn’t serviced till around 4.30pm, the hotel was fully booked and it was the school holidays but clearly they need more house keeping staff, Hotel wi fi is SHOCKING!!! Especially if you unfortunately need to do some work,!my laptop wouldn’t even connect in the room: they are very aware of it, but they need to sort It out. They were very apologetic, just frustrating
