lovely hotel experience

friendly staff central location tasty food

the staff were really friendly and professional, always ready to help. the rooms were clean and well-kept, it had a relaxing feel after my day. i liked the central spot because getting around was easy. the food was tasty and there was enough to pick from. it, good for work trips.

there are a couple things i would change. parking is tight, and the beds felt small. i am plus size and it was a bit hard to sleep well. also, the bathroom drain did not work so good while i was there.

Dining

9/10

the dining area has lots of natural light. breakfast had several choices of fresh fruit. i saw options like melon, pineapple, and bananas which is great to have, so healthy.

Service

10/10

room service was prompt. when i asked for extra towels, they arrived in less than ten minutes. the concierge offered helpful directions to local attractions, i did not have to ask twice.

Facilities

8/10

the pool had about fifteen sun loungers. i noticed a poolside bar open til late. the gym features three treadmills and two stationary bikes, nice to have.

Rooms

9/10

my room had two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. the work desk had convenient power outlets. i saw the mini-fridge kept drinks cold, just how i like it.
