Lovely hotel just need to improve their housekeeping

Lovely friendly staff and amazing breakfast and the pool and spa area were an added bonus.

Cons:

The housekeeping left a lot to be desired the bed was never made properly the milk was never topped up. It was just disappointing and not what you expect from a 4 star hotel

Cons:

某天早上9點多就來敲門問說要不要整理房間，有夠不專業，剛入住的房型還可以通過側門進到另外一間，跟員工反應之後才讓我們換房間，但感覺隱私與安全性都不符合連鎖飯店的標準!
