Waste of money
Pros:

The location was the only thing I liked about the stay.

Cons:

The hotel claims it’s a luxury hotel but there was nothing luxury about it. The room was due a makeover it looked really run down. The bathroom radiator had rust all over it. The wallpaper was coming away from the walls. The Staff I thought were not friendly at all when we first arrived we had to wait for the receptionist to pause his film on his phone before we were seen too. As we were leaving the cleaner was just finishing smoking through the window of the waiting area which then left a horrible smell of smoke. There was no air conditioning in the room either other than a little fan. This was not giving luxury at all.
