helpful staffunusual room conceptensuite roomsmall roomdisappointing attemptsewerage odour

the staff were helpful and pleasant. the room concept was individual and unusual. the room was good value for money. it was reasonable for quality of room and ensuite.

my room was small. it was supposedly themed. it was a poor and disappointing attempt. the worst thing was the sewerage odour that permeated through the whole room from the washroom.
