Alison

Disliked: Staff & service
Dated decor and lackluster maintenance. Eoom with spa had cobwebs in corner, 2 leaks on ceiling which need attention. Attention to detail needed for its star rating and price point. Bed skirts too short, skirting boards blown out from water damage. Instant coffee only and recption closed at 5:30pm. So if you needed anything, you had to contact via cellphone, leave a voicemail or see some in the bar/restaurant. Or. If you need a top up of towels, coffee etc, conveniently placed HK trolleys parked up along the corridor to assist you with your needs. Please, no flowers are better than fake flowers inside the hotel. Consider your surroundings as an environmentally friendly source for your displays, which is inline with your ethos. It was a peaceful stay thank you, just the facility is dated and needs more attention to detail.
