Nice hotel, excellent facilities
Pros:

Location, facilities and restaurants

Cons:

The room looked over the foyer and the bathroom didn’t provide much privacy. Our friends who booked the same type of room and paid the same had a much bigger room, with a kitchen lounge and balcony.

Great value just a few customer service issues.
Pros:

The location and the washer dryer and very easy parking and lift access. Price was great for room size, parking and breakfast being included for 4 days.

Cons:

Room service never arrived when ordered , cleaner left door unlocked while we were out. Was charged for breakfast when it was included in the stay.



Mini bar not restocked when room was cleaned on our second day. No option to order new bottles of water etc on room service app. No chai on room service menu.

Bathroom shower easily would flood the floor. Kitchen needs a bigger bin considering it has a microwave etc.
