I was very disappointed. The property was run down, maid service was very poor, furniture was worn, one day we only had lukewarm water in the shower. The maid did not come during the day. So we called in the late afternoon requesting sheets, towels and coffee. They changed the sheets and took the old towels but did not bring any towels or coffee pods. So we called later in the evening and they brought towels but only sugar - no coffee. Just limited attention to detail and service. At best this is a 3 star hotel. I would never stay here again.

More practice required…

The female reception staff were surly and disinterested and arrogant. I unfortunately can’t name the individual because my post will then not be accepted, but I don’t think TATUM O’Neill would check into this hotel……the male reception staff were delightful. The porters were very helpful and the housekeeping good. Hotel overpriced for what is offered.
