Great location, friendly staff
Good hotel. Was well priced for the location. Friendly staff. The only thing I didn’t like was the pool was a bit small but that’s ok. Room service was very fast after ordering, however instead of pineapple juice they sent up straight lemon juice. I didn’t realise until the staff had dropped it off and by that time I was heading out so didn’t have time to wait for a new one. Not a big deal though, should have mentioned it at check out but forgot

I cannot believe the amount of positive reviews of this place. To start, the parking is a nightmare. $55 per night for valet parking, total rip, and there is always a massive wait to get your car. We almost got hit twice in the concierge area, it is total chaos. The lifts are always full, so it takes ages to get up or down. The pool is 1m deep, and any more than 5 people in the pool and there is no space to move. The pictures make it look much bigger than it is! The pool opening hours are also confused amongst staff- reception say the pool is open until 7, and when we arrived at 6, the extremely rude bar staff told us to get out as it closed at 6. Do not recommend, absolutely horrible experience.
