Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Desk staff were polite, welcoming and knowledgeable. Room was ok but property had a tired look and needed better quality renovations. Shower performance needed improvement. Breakfast buffet seemed expensive at $35 per head and a human hair was found amongst the scrambled egg. Its location appeared to indicate a lack of hygiene procedures by kitchen staff. The shops nearby did not enhance the properties location
