The room was clean and the bed was comfy, but the AC didn’t cool the room and it was very hot to sleep, but opening the window worked well though it added some street noise.

On entry the building is impressive and the reception staff attentive and helpful. The rooms and corridors are however very minimal and quite small.
Breakfast, whilst lots of choice didnt have enough healthy options with a focus on fried foods.

Hotel is very nice.
Staff friendly and rooms spotless.
Upgraded on arrival to junior suite with great balcony.
Only downside was the pools were being refurbished so unable to use which wasn’t advertised when booking.
