great location attentive staff accommodating staff high drink price unclear rule discount absence
the location was great close to most tourist attractions and various restaurants. the staff were very attentive to us and especially to our kids. she was patient and very accommodating to them. they totally enjoyed themselves!
the price of drinks was told you get 30% being a resident but it did not apply in the lobby bar. rules were not clear when happy hours were certain bars at different times so twice was caught out. my partner was on soft drinks no discount on them making it a very expensive mistake.
