Can be better

Hotel with a beautiful location and exterior but outdated and poorly maintained on the inside. The rooms are extremely outdated, poor lighting that does not work well, toilets need a proper scrub, bathroom doors used as room doors in the 2 bed apartment. though the front desk staff have excellent service - Delano and Ronelle stood out.

Not a Luxury Hotel

we checked in, not a family room, asked for a family room, none was available, Bath was situated in the open where the bed is, we had our 7 yr daughter with us, no TV in the room, furniture was horrible, not comfortable at all. Although what I can say was positive was the staff members that assisted us. Luca is a great asset to your business
