Reception was nice and staff were professional and well dressed. Rooms were not worth the money, more like a cheap motel than a high end hotel. Definitely not worth the money I spent.

The hotel was terrific to look at, really nice forayer, bar & restraurant and bathrooms. The bed was lumpy and terrible. The fridges and fans made too much noise. There must have been a batchelorette party in the next room as they laughed and shouted loudly into the early hours. At 3am it was replaced by some fella shouting "sit on my face" repeatedly at the top of his voice. After a while even i was shouting a similar thing. To top it off the water in the shower was cold. What a terrific stay otherwise. Wildly interesting.

Our stay was ok overall. We had a king bay view room, it was a good size and view was great. On the downside the bathroom was small and the gym was not usable if anyone else is in there. Overall happy with our stay
