Not guaranteed a car park in front of your room. The pillow was very flat and the shower floor was slippery. A/C was set on a temp that I’d prefer to be cooler.

We liked the Italian Restaurant attached with friendly young staff and good food & service. Berny the receptionist was friendly. Unfortunately, the room was not clean, dirty towel on floor behind the front door, used toothpick & sticky residue on bedside table, hair/muck on bathroom floor behind toilet & bathroom sink, floor in room not clean. Air conditioning control knob broken, One mug & one chair in a King room, no hanging space/wardrobe. Sorry, it was disappointing.

Stayed here for 1 night and arrived around 19.30. Check was meant to be open till 20.00 but nobody was present. It waz very tricky to get through on the phone and a pain as we were very tired, all wax paid and we just wanted to get into the room. The room was lovely room, very spacious and clean, slept wonderful. Would stay again.
