The property is comfortable and public areas good. We were disappoined with the quality of our room 707 as it badly needs refurbishment. Vanity in the bathroom was falling apart and needs replacing. We appreciated having a bath in the bathroom. The beds were comfortable and clean! Photos below of vanity in bathroom that badly needs relpacing. You pay a premium price and expect the room to be upkept better!
