The hotel room was not up to standard. I noticed hair on the cushion. This is especially disappointing, considering the price. Staff should ensure better room cleanliness. It is a basic expectation in a hotel like this.

Fantastic Hotel Experience!
quick check-infriendly stafffaulty tv
Check-in was so quick and easy. All the staff were friendly. Our room was very clean and well-kept. Dined in the restaurant for dinner and everything tasted divine. I'd love to visit this hotel again soon!
I booked a suite, but the Sky TV didn't work in the suite's living area. I had to watch from the bedroom. I really wanted the full experience that the upgrade offered.
