Price vs Quality doesn't match
-Cleanliness was very poor especially the hotel looks old from inside the rooms so it requires extra care.
-Price vs Quality doesn't match,, it is way overpriced, I can stay in a better option with the same price.
-To be fair, reception staff are great!

The room area was unkept by guest next door to my room they will eat and leave the dirty dishes by the door 🚪 for days and house keeping will clean up the rooms and still no one will pick up those trash 🗑️. That was terrible.

Property requires some renovation but overall is in good condition. New towels is a must as the ones we were given were old. Swimming pool times need to be extended as 7.00pm is too early to close.

The hotel was older than I thought. There was water running from a pipe. The towels were dingy and obviously over used. The complimentary breakfast was ok. Hot food not very hot. The young man Christopher who worked there was eager to help. Always smiling. He was our go to guy

Not worth the money. Except food is very good.
I had to push them to change my room due to poor bathroom condition, disaster aircon & Iron not working, not once but 3 different ones due to loose socket.
Second room little better but bathroom same as first room, felt like it wasn't cleaned in years, mould on tiles everywhere. I will not stay again in this hotel, i don't understand who gave such hotels 4 star rating.

Not coming back Here Again
The hotel looks amazing from outside but when I went in the room the ac was not working i had to change the room and also there were cockroaches in the room. The room was quite spacious but when the ac was not working and i had to change the room instead of upgrading the room they downgraded the room by giving a smaller room.
