First stay here. Would stay again
My first stay here. Room was nice and clean. Only issue was how long it would be for booking in restaraunt when we wanted to book when we arrived. But we ordered room service instead. I would stay here again.

Nice enough stay but you cant have a lie in. The cleaning staff and the banging of the doors from 8.30am, make sure of that.
