I have stayed here several times for work and always found it consistently good. On this occasion the room I was provided had an issue with the air-con and given the 28-30 degree heat it was a need! When I raised this with reception an alternate room was located without fuss or hesitation. Excellent from Kelsey at the front desk 👏
