Really good experience
Pros:

Very easy and quick

Cons:

On the last day of check out I was locked out of the room before 10am. Wasn't able to switch lights and do last check although I was offered to redo card I thought it would have been Courtesy to allow us till 10am as stated. Left a slight bitter feeling. Especially when we want to attend every as the service, staff location is fantastic.

A comfortable stay with excellent customer service!
Pros:

Clean, comfortable room. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent customer service.

Cons:

Had a problem at check-in as they had no trace of my booking. Arranged stay through booking.com and I had printed confirmation. The problem was identified as an issue with the hotel computer system not receiving the booking from booking.com. For a while it looked like I would not have a room, but the hotel manager (Joy) was determined to resolve the issue and a room was provided.
