Acceptable stay overall

friendly staff good breakfast poor service disappointing room

The breakfast was good, it offered many choices. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I stayed a few nights and found the view quite amazing. The hotel made biscuits for the room.

I found the standard of facilities not up to what I expected. The service did not justify the price i paid. The room was quite disappointing and did not live up to the reviews. The standard wasn't as high as I hoped.

i loved the modern rooms. they felt so large. the king room sea view room had a lovely balcony. it overlooked pastures and water which i really loved.

i found the room and bathroom was very dirty. the breakfast room was also not clean. i think the staff needs more training to keep the place super clean and tidy.

noisy fridge inconsistent shower

the restaurant had excellent food choices.

the room's mini fridge was noisy, it woke me up several times. also, the shower pressure was inconsistent, going from hot to cold without warning. i found hairs on the bathroom floor upon arrival, that was quite unpleasant.
