Lovely big room. Comfortable bed. The bathroom was a bit dated and needs a refurb. Apart from that, it was excellent. The food in the restaurant was really good. The free shuttle to the airport was a real bonus as well.

The staff in reception and the airport driver were very friendly. The restaurant girls were not friendly and borderline rude. Our room ceiling lights were inoperable. I had the receptionist come to the room to confirm. We were not offered a different room but we were OK with that even though another room would have been preferred. The room, #838, is showing it's age and needs a refresh.
