Accidental Honeymoon Surprise

cute staffaccessible roomsmall bathroom
The staff were cute. Taliah at reception were really nice too accommodate us. She switched us to an accessible room recognizing my husband's needs. The bed had rose petals and the room had towel swans, it was such a treat.
The bathroom was quite small. I would prefer a separate shower instead of one in the bath. A modernization programme would improve the experience.

Satisfactory Stay at Convenient Location

helpful staffconvenient locationextra bond
I found the staff very helpful . Jessica at the front desk was particularly accommodating, ensuring I kept the same room. The location was quite handy for my visit (I appreciated the ease of access).
I had to pay an extra bond before check-in, despite paying in full already. The wedding party downstairs made it difficult to sleep early (the noise traveled upwards).

The general facilities included a functional bar area and good public areas. The breakfast was plentiful and offered a good choice of items, from hot dishes to cereals. Public parking is available on the premises.
