The service of the room wasn’t great, however, most of the cleaning staff were off sick. Management would have given us towels after hours but we didn’t want to disturb them, so waited until the morning.

This property has had some renovations but they fall short in terms of practicality. Shower was a disappointment. Looked good but low water pressure and show door was not installed properly. The conditioner and shaving cream dispensers were not filled. Room was much smaller than photographs show.
