decent stay with minor issues
top quality foodsufficient spacingtea coffeedated hoteltired ensuitecleanliness detail
the restaurant food was top quality. i found the spacing in my room sufficient for my needs. plenty of tea and coffee supplies were provided.
the hotel was dated, noticeable. the ensuite looked tired and could use a makeover. i noticed a lack of attention to detail regarding cleanliness in the bathroom.
the location suited me great. my standard queen room had functioning air conditioning and a handy refrigerator, useful. the pool looked inviting. i really loved the nespresso coffee machine and milk frother in the room. this made my mornings perfect.
i found that the check-in experience could have been more cute. the person wasn't very friendly.
