If you are under 25 and don’t need much sleep stay here. If not go to another hotel! I’m not an early to bed person but the bed was literally shaking until 3 am under us from noise. Day staff are lovely but this is a party hotel and also had thin walls. Not only did we not sleep but we heard all the gossip from both neighbours. Restaurant got order wrong but in general staff nice. It’s a money machine business and perhaps this is for you but I do like my sleep!

Excellent property with many dining and drinking options. The tomato soup and the carrot soup were amazing! The room was rather small and we had trouble figuring out how to turn on power for some of the outlets.
