Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were rude and offended. They gave me a solo teaveller a room right in front of the kids park. Perfect for a family not a solo traveller when i asked for a quieter spot .because of the kids running and screaming along the hallway ..kida r kids i get it but when a solo person books perhaps thats not the best room.. when i asked very politely for a quiter spot as i had an early flight..i really got attirude and she was quite rude. I wanted to ask for my money back . Not what i expect for $200. 109 toom wasnt cleaned well fridge dirty . Carpet stained . Romm 239 was better but still not cleaned well. I woukd not go back or recommend disappointing

I love staying at the colonial club and as a Ken‘s local do so quite often I was so disappointed in the food and beverage service. We stayed two nights. The breakfast staff were amazing. The night staff very poor English and understanding of menus drinks and service. It wasn’t the shortage of staff to French girls on the front showed appalling service. Speaking in their own language, rude There was no leadership tables were cleared not wiped. Very disappointing.
