Pros:

The room was spacious. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and adequate towels for guests.
We had both dinner and breakfast there. All meals were great.
The bar and dining facility offer plenty of options
You can dine. watch a game or relax in the bar.

Cons:

My daughter and her family travelled with us. We had the exact same rooms. The office manager served us. She booked my daughter closer to the lift and my husband and I, both elderly had the room the absolute farthest from the lift.

Pros:

Nice hotel great location

Cons:

A/C being controlled centrally is not great as it was really warm in room. We had to change rooms and we were offered a fan to help since after an hr the A/C just shuts off. This is not great during warm summer months.

Can't thank you enough...
Pros:

The hotel was so accommodating about my recent need of a wheelchair. They ensured that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Great communication before arriving. Couldn't have asked for more.

Cons:

The spec was not quite up to the standard that I had booked. We were expecting a minu bar/fridge which was not available in the accessible room.
