The staff was amazing, very kind and helpful when one of the keycards became faulty. There was a soapy film on the bedding for one of our beds when we arrived, which wasn’t ideal. The bathroom counter was also disorderly upon checking in with water stains all over.

Public areas were nice and staff was very friendly. The fact that the pool and hot tub area is under construction and not shared is a huge disappointment - this needs to be shared with potential guests before they stay. The bathroom in the room was pretty grungy, definitely not what you’d expect in a 3-star hotel. Location was good as was the breakfast offerings. However again if you’re booking in hopes of a hot tub soak after walking the mall, book somewhere else.
