Great Suite and Helpful Staff!

comfortable bedhelpful stafflarge suite

I think the maintenance backlogs mentioned in past reviews were resolved by April 2025. We stayed in the Suite on the 6th floor. I highly recommend it for couples staying at least four nights. The bed was large and very comfortable. The bathroom had good appointments, and the lounge space included a sofa bed.

The public toilets downstairs seemed not to be monitored, and the sheet to sign for checking them was last signed two days before our stay.
