The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, i must say. Breakfast was GREAT. I also had dinner in the restaurant one evening and the food was great TOO!!!

The music from the bar was so LOUD all day and night. I think i was in the room right above the bar. I could hear every word the singer sang, all night. I managed to get to sleep after midnight when it stopped. Extremely tired in the morning.
