Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised at how much consideration the Radisson had for my sister who was observing the month of Ramadan, they had a special menu for meals in the morning at 4am I've very well traveled and we have never had so much consideration before. It gave a special sense of care and meant a great deal. Staff were friendly and kind.

Cons:

The food selection at the hotel restaurant was a little limited maybe some more added options to explore.

A good hotel centrally located with attentive staff but beware bed bugs!
Pros:

The Radisson is centrally located and has a warm and inviting atmosphere with tentative staff and great facilities. My check in process was flawless, the room allocated was spacious and modern. Onlooking the pool with complimentary drinks which was all fantastic.

Cons:

Unfortunately after returning home i was full or red bumps in clusters consistent with bed bugs/mites. I traveled with 2 colleagues who had the same and stayed in different areas of the hotel. They need to treat their mattresses on an ongoing basis because they clearly have an issue. Sadly i wont return after this experience which is sad because everything else was really good
