Convenient location, welcoming staff and the breakfast was really good. However, the property is dated, doesn’t justify the price I paid for the room, housekeeping services are poor. I’ve had better experience at other IHG hotels, was a bit of a let down.

Only bump was when asked for water one day, no one came after 3 calls and over an hour. When asked reason, fingers were pointed and quoted if being busy. Customers time should be valued especially on vacation and over an hour wasted sitting in the room waiting.
