We liked the breakfast and the lobby. We disliked the fact that our toilet did not flush properly and that we had to report it for three days before action was taken. The WiFi was spotty.

My single occupancy room was changed on request promptly. Carla and Dadia were very kind, helpful and polite. The only experience at the restaurant for breakfast was on day one was not the best. My english breakfast order was messed up and not complete and, the staff probably have no experience with asian clients because nobody was kind enough to ask for tea, sauces, etc. which they were doing for other customers around my table. It was disappointing and felt racist. But all my stars are for the front desk staff. Thank you.

Comfortable bed and good location. Staff are friendly too. The rooms are spacious, but thought mine was well overdue a refurb (particularly given the price).

We traveled from the USA. We had a wonderful stay. We took the Hovercraft across the water and the Hotel was directly across the street The staff was very helpful and kind. The bath towels were very nice. The only thing missing for me were face washcloths. Our breakfast was included and was delicious and plentiful. Because it is such a spacious hotel, I was able to meet with my cousin and aunt I hadn’t seen in 50+ years inside the hotel. I was able to purchase tea and coffee and cake for us to enjoy while we visited.
