Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Very dissatisfied

Air conditioning cut off other electrical lights. Toilets do not flush well. The remotes to the TV did not work and had to be synced with TV. Was supposed to have 2 breakfast bags ready for our early departure - only to find out they never had them even though we paid for the breakfast. It was disappointing as this hotel looks very nice but is not up to par for the cost.

The room we had was spacious, clean and well stocked. The space seemed dated but everything worked well. We were not able to turn the temperature down below 19c which was on the warm side for us. Staff were lovely and the in hotel restaurant was decent, some lower priced options would have been nice.
