Fantastic location and wonderful amenities.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at this wonderful accommodation. It is situated in a good location. The amenities are top notch and all staff were excellent. Our minor recommendations would be to add lighting on the inside of the wardrobes and shelving area and brighter lighting in the hallway outside of the bathroom.

I did not enjoy my stay at this property. I expected a lot better quality of stay at a Sofitel. I was moved to three different rooms during my stay because the beds were so bad. I took pictures and videos of the mattresses and filed a formal complaint. The amenities are nice but the rooms are outdated, poor quality, and terrible beds.
