From the moment I booked, the Guest Experience Team was very helpful and willing to assist with my requests. We were welcomed with enthusiasm with the lobby equipped with welcome drinks. The hotel kept me up to date with the maintenance happening at the hotel. The room was spacious, big enough for our family of 3. Breakfast was good, however on our last day many food items seem to run out and the wait to get a table was a bit long. Overall it was a good stay.

Hotel great with some notes

The hotel was great but unfortunately there are 2 issues 1-Hotel location, is a bit far from most of the restaurants and Cafes 2-My room was located below reception ground level, and there was no left, this is a problem during check out as you would need to carry the luggage

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bath needed maintenance and staff responded quickly. The hand and bath lotions need to be fixed properly as they were inconvenient to use.
