Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are very large and spacious, with extremely comfortable bed. The location is wonderful. My only dislike is that housekeeping can be improved. They should be checking to make sure that all staples, like toilet paper and Kleenex have been restocked. I should have not had to contact reception to get these items restocked. Otherwise, fabulous room, location, and front end staff!!

My stay was excellent but I did notice that a guy going into a room next to mine who was Asian and then when I came past again another guy (European) was going into the same room. He came straight out and came down the lift with me saying my room already has someone in it.

Cleaning was lacking,lots of dust in areas.Marks and stains on the carpet.Bed was like sleeping on concrete. The place needs to be refurbished and actually make it worth the money that people spend to stay there.
