The room was clean, and the staff was very helpful. I particularly enjoyed the food in the restaurant. The bar was also well-stocked. I appreciated the variety of drinks it offered.
The gym was quite small. It only had a limited selection of equipment. The room service menu felt somewhat overpriced. The noise from a nearby event was noticeable one evening.

My room overlooked the cricket ground and included a balcony with seating. The bathroom was a nice size. It had ample facilities and a good shower. The restaurant offered great service and delicious food from its well-equipped bar.
The young bar staff did not clear dirty glasses quickly enough. This was disappointing
