I found the reception staff very warm and friendly. The cleaning staff were also very friendly and helpful . I appreciated the breakfast with a good selection of both cooked English breakfast and continental buffet style.
The air conditioning seemed to have a limited cooling capacity. It struggled to keep the room as cool as I would have liked.

the air conditioning was a joke!!! it barely worked, and the room felt stuffy even with it cranked up all the way. cleaners totally missed refilling the toiletries. no shower gel! and the minibar prices were outrageous. i mean, seriously overpriced drinks and snacks for what they were. felt totally ripped off for such poor attention to detail.
