The room was nice and neat with easily accessible amenities. The spa was also clean with a jacuzzi.

A conference took place during my first night and disrupted the hotel bar's accessibility. Drinks took a long time to arrive when we were in the reception area. After a 40 minute wait for the bill, a staff member followed us to our room to collect payment at 11:30 pm which was quite inconvenient.

underwhelming experience

inconsistent pressure breakfast buffet

I was disappointed with a few aspects. the water pressure in the shower was inconsistent. It fluctuated a lot. also, the breakfast buffet was not replenished quickly enough. items ran out and weren't refilled for extended periods. these issues detracted from an otherwise decent stay.

good location reception staff good housekeeping movie option small sink water bottles

the location was quite good and i found the surrounding area safe. the reception staff were happy to help with directions. the housekeeping was very good, as soon as i left my room, it was cleaned!

There was no option for movies in the room. Just normal tv. the sink area in the bathroom was too small. Not big enough for two people. not renewing water bottles in the room is something i noticed, and i'd expect that in a five star hotel
