The room was VERY clean. I appreciate that so much. I had a double room with modern design. The shower was powerful. It was a very welcome surprise after a long day. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They gave me quick help.

Good amenities and service!
easy check-in meeting area friendly staff
Check-in was relatively easy. The premises offer plenty of room, with meeting areas. I found further facilities available, though I did not have time to use them. The staff was very friendly and cute, even handing out chocolates to all the women on Mother's Day. The manager was on site and willing to assist with anything.
I reported this to reception. I received apologies. I heard nothing more regarding the incident.

i experienced noise from slamming doors. passing revellers added to the disturbance. i booked a room for myself and two children for a later date, but was told it was not possible until everyone else had checked in. a male voice told a supervisor to deny available rooms, i found this appalling.
