We stayed at a 1-bedroom room. The reason we booked this hotel as opposed to others was because of undercover EV charging facilities. There are two Tesla chargers and one of them was out of commission. The other one was hogged by a car for more than 8hrs. The restaurant options are quite limited as there are two, not four, restaurants on site. One of them was closed for renovations. There is no ‘pool’ in fact there is a pool in the health club that: - Closes at 5:30pm on Saturday; and - Requires a booking to be made. Went at 7 on Sat, the lady on the reception saw us going there but couldn’t be bothered to say the pool is closed. When we asked her she said it’s closed. Next day went at 10 in the morning and was told you need a booking. Would’ve been nice if the lady told us about it the day before. No one mentioned it at the check-in. Checked in around 11pm (hotel claims 24/7 check in) but the Parking doors were closed. Called up and no one picked up the phone for 10 minutes so had to walk up only to be told no calls came through. Overall, not value for money. I’d spend the same somewhere else.

Excellent location, staff and facilities. Bed was too soft for me (personal taste) and the towels were very disappointing given the hotel rating: thin, small, part-synthetic.
