fabulous pool helpful staff central location dark room inadequate storage poor isolation
i found the spa area fabulous with a lovely pool. the staff was helpful and friendly. the location is very central, and everything i needed was just around the corner from the hotel.
the room was dark and cave-like with little natural light. there were no towel racks in the bathroom, only hooks. the noise isolation was poor, and i could hear noise from other rooms.
