The location was good, with easy access to nearby attractions.

I was not impressed with the room size. I booked a beautiful studio, but it felt cramped. There was also a strange smell coming from the bathroom. The staff did not fix it, even after I told them.

fantastic staycation!

stylish entryconcierge teamwarm vibe

The wow factor at arrival was just the beginning! we received five-star service and were greeted in a stylish entry. a concierge team did everything for us (they were so helpful!). the kids loved the lights and the red carpet walk to reception. complimentary cocktails and mock-tails were served at check-in! sarah, the manager, greeted us personally, setting a warm vibe. she surprised the kids with a fun platter and upgraded our room. I noted it was a special staycation from our usual caravan trips. thanks to all the staff for making our stay special!

The shower is weird to use. Water comes out all over the floor because the drain is inadequate. there is no extraction fan in the bathroom, so dressing after showering is uncomfortable.
