Business traveller
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I only used the room facilities at this hotel as I checked in and went straight out and checked out early the next day. The hotel is nice from the outside and the reception area was ok, however the bedrooms required an update. Due to a mix up by Expedia (the hotel did not have my details) the hotel gave me a junior suit and as mentioned I would not had paid for a suit that required so much updates. The staff at the hotel are very friendly, polite and professional so thankyou. The breakfast was average in the morning.
