good stay!

friendly staff amazing food
the food was amazing!!! lots of choices were available and everything was plentiful, which i loved. friendly staff welcomed us in all areas. i reminded me of i was staying in a five-star hotel, the hotel is very well presented.
i was a little confused by the ventilation system because it was very warm in the room. i thought reducing the temperature would cool the air down, but it only warmed it up. i discovered opening the windows was the most effective solution to cool the room.

Acceptable Stay with Some Annoyances

missing bath gel poor service
The location is near to shops and eateries, I admit.
I faced several service failures. The hotel had no bath gel for two days despite me asking for it. they did not replenish the tea or coffee, even after I requested it. That is quite poor.
