Dirty and poor housekeeping
Housekeeping staff were rude and did not clean the room for 4 night ( our whole stay). They simply made the bed and changed the towels. We had to ask to top up the toilet roll and toiletries.

Not good for the price
$350 per night and we had 1 sky movie channel? Waste of money

This is a lovely place to stay. The staff are awesome, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. They are always around so things get dealt with and sorted on the spot, breakfast was delicious and plentiful, early morning staff being always cheerful and smiling!
