The staff at this hotel we so lovely and went out of their way to make you feel welcomed, especially the day time staff. Rooms are lovely and the restaurant very clean. Likes the spa but was definitely missing a steam room to set it off properly. Would happily return anytime.

Poor hotel conditions. Booked 3 bedrooms and the air conditioning is broken in all of them. We’re forced to keep the windows open and use fans.
