8/10 Good
"Great location and the staff are very helpful. Our room was cleaned a bit later than we hoped as we rushed out in the morning (around 9:30am) when we saw the cleaning staff a couple of doors down but sadly when we came back around 2:30pm still wasn’t cleaned. Was cleaned about an hour later tho’ - so no big issue at all. We have stayed many times and will again."

"Overall we had a good stay. Had a few off days with housekeeping but was always rectified. Front desk was welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was good nice selections. Suppers were good. There was definitely 1 server we had the opportunity to have on multiple occasions( Imran). Very pleasant and great service. The pool area was nice we did use it a few times. The hotel as a whole needs some upgrading and safes in the room and a mini fridge!"
