Acceptable, but Some Issues

low pressurenoisy entertainment
I was a bit let down . The shower had very low water pressure. It made rinsing shampoo a real chore. the noise from the entertainment downstairs went on until midnight. I could hear it clearly even from the top floor. It really disrupted my sleep.

Wonderful stay!

friendly staffdelicious foodnightly entertainmentthin wall
The staff greeted me by name after only a couple of days. The hotel food was excellent (especially the roast beef dinner). The entertainment each night kept me smiling.
The room walls were quite thin, and i could hear noise from the adjacent room.

street noisechaotic buffet
I really didnt like how noisy my room was. it faced the street and the noise at night was terrible. i could hear every car and person, and i barely got any sleep. also, the breakfast buffet was really chaotic. Getting a table was difficult and food kept running out. i dont think they planned well for the amount of people.
