The place was very clean and nice. there was a problem with the king mattress. It felt like a bar was in the upper portion so we had to sleep in the other bedroom. But location was great.

Room was perfect and very clean. Great location. Check-out time of 11am was great, however this was ruined by the housekeeping team who were chatting very loudly from 9am. I understand they have to do their job, but I don't think it is necessarily to be shouting and laughing between rooms, when they are aware guests are still trying to sleep? Anyway, overall I gave 4 stars, would have 5.

The lobby and bar area was clean and nicely decorated and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only disappointing part of our stay was the room. We reserved a kind room and the bed was a queen. The rooms was very small which is not uncommon for the region but
