"The hotel was clean unfortunately there was no air conditioning however the room has 2 fans. We were at the front of the property and works on opposite building started at 7am and were very loud so no chance of a relaxing lie in. The hotel doesn’t hold a great varied menu we had 2 pizza’s which were quite doughy. The gym and pool were well worth a visit. Very friendly knowledgeable reception staff."

"Excellent location. Staff were very accommodating and super helpful. Even allowed me and my elderly mom to check in early after our long flight from Canada. Very much appreciated! Easy walk into main downtown area-15 minutes or so. Breakfast was buffet style but very good. Loads of food choices. AC! Very much appreciated as it was unusually hot when we were there. There was a taxi rank outside on the main road and usually had cabs waiting. Would definitely stay again."
