WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN, NOR WILL I RECOMMEND ANYONE TO STAY.
Pros:

NOTHING

Cons:

THE STAFF, THE WAY THEY COMMUNICATED TO GUESTS. THE LACK FOR RESPECT WHEN A GUEST HAD QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.
THE FACT THEY CHARGE GUESTS FOR MINI BAR PURCHASES THEY DIDN'T USE WITH PROOF AND NO OPTON FOR DISCUSSION OR BELIEVE THE GUEST THIS WAS INCORRECT AND NEEDED TO BE RESOLVED.

Pleasant enough, lovely staff.
Pros:

I really liked the staff. Sam was very helpful and friendly, as was the girl, who I think has a Spanish background, just very warm and sincere. a nice stay overall. Thankyou.

Cons:

Plumbing was bad and noisy, we had to move rooms in the middle of the night, no concession or anything offered to make up for that. The roomservice food was just too busy, trying too hard to be fancy. We ordered duck breast and just way too much going on on the plate, and the creme caramel also had way to much bitter citrus weirdness accompanying it. I come from a foodservice background. Its not that competitive for this time of year (Autumn) on price.
