The staff were professional! Helpful, knowledgeable and cheery were all qualities I observed.
The pipes made a clanging noise. I had to move rooms because of this. I got a garden room, but the bed was quite uncomfortable.

The room was clean and the location was convenient.
The allocated room faced air conditioning units. I heard them running all night. The toilet handle worked backwards, odd. The pillows were also very firm offering little comfort .

Acceptable But With Issues

noise disruptiondifficult parking
The allocated room was not ideal. It was quite noisy, especially in the mornings. I could clearly hear other guests walking in the corridor. The sound of doors slamming was disruptive and made it difficult to sleep soundly. the parking situation was challenging, it became difficult to find a space.

the staff we met were friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out, also during breakfast and dinner. the room was clean and tidy, it was comfortable. i stayed for two nights, the second night was a bit noisy but it didn't cause any real disturbance. the food was fairly priced, i thought it was tasty.
I noticed no sound proofing in the room. Early in the morning, i woke up when the next door neighbor ran the basin taps.
