Waited almost four hours for room to be ready. Was told it was a “priority” for housekeeping when I arrived. I hate being lied to. Really think it reflects badly on a business.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We value all the feedback provided. I am very sorry to hear that your check-in did not meet your expectations and lacked some service requirements. This will be passed onto the relevant departments to address.

We liked the fact it was at the City Centre and within walking to many sights. It was a very clean and quiet hotel.
