My stay included access to the Executive Lounge. The food offered was delicious. it wasn't really good. My room had a large balcony, offering a fine view..

I found the hotel lobby a little too cold. I also felt other areas within the hotel were too cold. In the shower cabin of my room, the silicone sealant was showing some wear.

The kids club felt very impersonal. Staff wanted my son to watch TV. There wasn't much engagement. The hotel is surrounded by busy roads, so walking wasn't easy. I GOT different messages from customer service every day asking for feedback. It became too much so I stopped it.
