Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was massive and the front desk staff were lovely. The reception area is inviting and easy parking. That’s all the positives. The bathroom was mouldy and rotting and the whole hotel gives off a zombie apocalypse vibe. The aircon in the room didn’t work, and if you open the window you’re suffocated by the Sulfur smell. I feel sorry for the staff, it seems like they are understaffed and don’t have the time to attend to the rooms properly - e.g no soap in the bathroom and house keeping forgot to provide new towels which was discovered mid shower at 10pm. The person at the front desk wasn’t able to leave the desk to bring new towels for an hour.

The room was a bit sad. Cobwebs outside the windies. The whole hotel is a bit dilapidated and sad. We had a big spa bath in the room which only worked as a tub but my 11 yr old enjoyed it. The breakfast was ok but the coffee ma phone was broken . Close to hot spas though and lots of guests there

We had a good stay our room was huge comfy bed very clean. Some things could do with a little TLC, and a couple extra utilities etc in the kitchen would be handy. Breakfst was pretty good a very handy option without having to go out in the morning everything was kept full which was awesome. A bit of customer training on the front desk could be a thort just intitial greeting guests etc. But overall our stay was enjoyable.

Over all a good place to stay. Staff gave us the wrong room that was already occupied. The occupant freaked out when she saw us. Front counter staff didn't even apologize for their mistake which i thought was unprofessional. Our room had a kitchenette but no cutlery or plates, no microwave, would have been better if these utensils and appliances were available. A clean, well kept facility, room serviced to a really good standard. Regards.
