Ok, but not great
The hotel room was a little tired. The air conditioning was poor - it was so humid in the room that the towels were wet constantly.

The hotel itself is really well staffed, all of them are super helpful, polite and knowledgeable. I suppose the best review message I can put is: "We are re booking two weeks in 2024 as a result of our experience there" I would recommend this hotel and it's employees

Happy with hotel
Was very impressed we were able to get our room on arrival in the morning after a long night flight. We were very grateful as we were very tired. Breakfast was fantastic Bedroom a little tired could go with a bit of a spruce up.
