The room was closest to the hotel proper which was open until 4am. There was a LOT of loud talking near the room which made getting to sleep a bit difficult.

Average stay

Check in was good, lovely staff. Enjoyed my complimentary drink, ordered dinner for room service. However I had to go back to the bar after an hour of waiting as I had not received it. Sort of received an apology, they remade my meal, gave me a refund with a complimentary drink. Thank you
