Property was ok. Not sure what it would be like on weekends due to proximity of accommodation to bar and it being in the nightclub part of town. Accommodation on 3rd floor and elevator only operates until 10pm. Rooftop swimming pool looked inviting

Room is nothing like the photos. We were locked out of our room due to a failing battery. Manager did what he could but sadly we will never stay here again. It was supposed to be a romantic weekend away and instead was a weekend from hell. Thank you to the manager who checked us out you were truly the only highlight this place had to offer.

This place is amazing! An all in one place to stay, play and eat. Food and drinks are excellent with very friendly and helpful staff. The only negative for us was our room was next to the night club next door and the bathroom is tiny. We will definitely stay again it’s so convenient, especially with kids.
