Pros:

Great location. Great pillows.

Cons:

Pricing was rather disappointing.

We booked through Booking.com however we're charged way more than on the day check in prices (this wasn't the case when we booked).

We got a very basic room on a lower floor for the expensive price as well.

Hotel not interested in giving us the rate of the day.

Understand sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles, but the dif was rather large at nearly $100.00pn.

We felt they were not really interested in our repeat business(Despite having stayed here before) Just a transaction.
