Great stay with my ladies! Spacious room and very chic! The lobby is also very nice and niche.

Clean and tidy in both rooms and common areas with some lovely decorations up for Easter. Buffet breakfast had a good selection available and the chef was friendly and also happy to also cook omelette for guests if requested. The lifts are painfully slow even though there are 2 banks of lifts - it’s like it needs to power on each time you press the button.

We stayed here one night. The room was nice and clean and the staff friendly. The lobby had loud music playing which was distracting and made it hard to have a conversation. The music did not, however, float to our room. The location was nice and convenient. I would stay here again if looking for a short stay, as it was a good price for the room.

Overall a great stay. There was a lengthy delay in getting the portacot delivered and set up on the day of check in which they were very apologetic for (and the lobby looked very busy on check in). Room is a bit small but had most things we needed. Cleaning staff were friendly and even refreshed our daughter's sheets/blankets in the portacot.

The whole stay was sort of up and down. The room initially had a contact lens on the bathroom counter, indicating that the cleaning before we checked in was not particularly thorough. The front desk staff seemed somewhat nonplussed about this. The beds were quite comfortable. We had a two king size bed suite and there was shockingly little storage space for the three of us. We ended up having to lie our suitcases on the ground and sort of live out of them during the time of that we were there. There was some minimal drawer space of one drawer and closet space but that would not have been enough for any of us individually. The hotel seems to have gone for style over substance. I found the music in the lobby to be somewhat overwhelming. I wish it had been more calming as opposed to some sort of house dance music. Breakfast in the restaurant was good and satisfying so that was a positive.
