Location was fabulous. Air conditioner was loud. Couldn’t turn it off as the room got hot within about 30 minutes. Made it very hard to sleep. Didn’t worry too much as I was only there for one night. Bed comfy. Staff were friendly and prompt.

From the moment we walked into the hotel we were greeted by friendly and professional staff who couldn't have been more helpful. Rooms were very nicely appointed and spacious. Only down side (albeit minor) was the doorstop on the interconnecting door was missing. But we improvised so no major issue. Food was very tasty and service was prompt.
