Managers need training with local knowledge

Car park didn't match room nos. So was rather awkward. Air conditioning exceptionally noisy outside and needs major attention. Manager had no local knowledge and not interested in giving us info about the town

Mould in shower and cracked vanity basin. No breakfast nor room service as stated on ad. Young lad on reception had very limited customer skills- another customer complained of cockroaches in their room. Very little response nor an investigation of the problem , finally offered a nearly empty can of insecticide as no other room available. Not a good feeling, cannot understand the rave reviews.

Non English speaking reception staff made check in near impossible, had to go back 3 times just to find someone who could communicate with me. Advertised online as having continental breakfast available but they don’t. Staff started cleaning rooms beside ours at 5am, and the cleaning trolley woke us up. The air con vibrates so loudly on the wall that you can’t sleep with it on. The pool sign says ‘poo rules’. Very disappointed and couldn’t wait to get out of there. Dead bugs on the storage shelves also, and no hand towels. Freezer section of fridge iced over so couldn’t use it to keep ice bricks frozen for a sports carnival we were attending. Also you can hear the people in the next room when they’re using the toilet. Not a positive experience in any way

A fairly good place to stay. A few minor things though. A LARGE step between the bathroom and Shower floor and a minor gap between the bathroom floor and the main room floor. Very little space in the bathroom to put necessities (and the shelf was tilted towards the floor). The bed is VERY high. Also no longer do room service (although there are multiple food places nearby). The 2 way switch for the bathroom over the bed was very handy.
