The staff were amazing and friendly. But the price for the room I got was that impressive for a five star Hotel it was a bit lacking if I can get my money back, I would. One the pillowcases was torn, and just didn’t feel like a 5 star place.

Room was nice, roomy, just the bed was horrible, kept falling in the gap over the beds being joined together and quality of bedding was of a low rated hotel. Dining at the property was also very unimpressive, wouldn’t recommend eating dinner there.

Liked: Cleanliness

Nice views, but that's about it

We tried to check in an hour after the earliest check-in time and our room still was not ready. So we could not actually check in until after 4pm. The room itself was tidy, but with the living upstairs and bedroom downstairs, we had to walk very carefully after our daughter went to bed, because the floor creaked a bit. We could hear our neighbours quite clearly at night, so there was not much sound proofing. Bathroom was small and cramped. The upstairs living space was big and the view was amazing - I guess that is what we were paying for here because the rest of the place was like any average 3 star motel.
