The hotel was close to many facilities. staff were helpful and polite . the room looked exactly as shown in the photos online. It was accurate.

I found the cocktails to be average in quality. they were served in small glasses which wasn't great value. the mattress in my room seemed quite old. It was soft and i kept rolling into the center.
