Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a convenient location on a busy road with some confusing hallways. The rooms felt unwelcoming and dated, though the friendly service made up for it. The dining options were good, but the lack of outdoor space was disappointing.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic overall with friendly service and clean rooms. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The location was convenient, but some aspects could be improved. Good value for money.
The hotel had dated and smelly rooms with noisy barking dogs around. The strong stench from adjacent rooms and corridors was quite unpleasant. On the positive side, the staff provided helpful service despite some issues with noise and disorganized breakfast offerings.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were generally what you would expect from a standard hotel but quite a walk from reception and other facilities. Unfortunately, the spa was out of order intermittently, which affected my sister's birthday celebration. On the plus side, the staff eventually were able to ease some mishaps.
