Good staff, great breakfast, but the room had a heater that we could not turn off (in June), and despite asking the hotel for assistance, the heat remained on for 2 days straight as we sweated out our stay.

No sleep.

Lovely hotel lobby and bar but this hotel has only double beds in all rooms and we had room at front of hotel and got no sleep with the constant noise from late night revellers.
