Location, room layout, room quality and view were excellent! The only thing stopping it being a 5 star review is the cleanliness. Not filthy but cleaners not thorough. Checked into our room, beds made but not as tidily as I have had in other hotels. Bathroom sink was dirty, sock from previous guests stuck between couch cushions, rubbish in our bedroom behind night stand. Towels were changed daily which was great but I received one that was stained/dirty. Other than that, the room was fantastic and I would absolutely book here again!

I imagine 10 years ago this property would have been an amazing place to stay, unfortunately though, apart from the views and the location this is no longer the case. Sewage smells, lifted carpet, broken phone, faulty lamps, squeaky beds and more. We booked this property on a deal, had I paid the full price I would have been incredibly upset!

Good location. However the room was not very clean, leftover food from previous guest was under the coffee table and couch, bathrooms were not very clean with the shower having dirt around doorframe. The rooms were poorly lit and the vents into the bedroom were not working so it was extremely stuffy during the night.
