terrace worthbad customer serviceunwilling staff

The room had a terrace, and it was worth the money I spent.

The service left much to be desired. I found them neither polite nor comprehensive. They seemed unwilling to attend to requests I had, and no manager was available to speak with. I do NOT intend to stay THERE again and cannot recommend it AT all.

I found sleep difficult, noise persisted throughout the night. i believe the provided alcohol was not branded as advertised. This detail, coupled with the sleepless nights, greatly affected my overall experience.
