Overall the staff were lovely, I booked the Deluxe King with Spa but sadly the spa had some sort of black mould coming out of the jets of it, so we ended up not even getting a good bath out of it. The Air conditioner barely worked and the room was overheating most of the time we were there (we asked the receptionist multiple times about it but it didn’t seem to make a difference), the TV wouldn’t let us StreamCast at all apparently they had someone come in to fix it a couple days prior but it still wasn’t working so we ended up just not using it all. In the end I probably won’t be booking this hotel again I’ll be going somewhere else.
