Great location.

We were greeted by friendly and accommodating staff. The beds were comfortable. The hand basin was a little difficult to use given its shape and location. Rooms could use a refresh as the curtains and sliding doors were difficult to open and close.

Good amount of restaurants in walking distance. Car park small for large vehicles. Difficult to park. You can hear people in the next room as if they are in your room. Noisy neighbourhood.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Reception was hard to find as it is at the rear of the building and upon entry the restaurant staff seemed to be the only ones working. After a wait we were checked in with very basic verbal communication on where to find allocated room. Parking is not dedicated and we were lucky to find a spot at the very rear of property The rooms are not clearly marked directional wise and we had to do a few walks around to find our door. The room itself was roomy and relatively clean. We were unable to open the door that led to the outdoor pool garden area at all and it appeared to have been broken for quite a while. The pool area looked like it needed a bit of attention and was not very inviting. The restaurant menu seemed to be very nice however we did not eat there that night. Easy walk to other dining options.
