"The room was so beautiful, the pictures on website don't do it justice, a really top standard room, beautiful decor, spotless clean, comfy bed, gorgeous bed linen and a beautiful bathroom which had a really cool mirror, which my daughter was able to connect to via Bluetooth, so we had music playing as we got ready to go out."

Mixed experience, some issues present

delayed check-in limited storage

The staff were cute and friendly, that was nice.

Check-in was delayed because no one was there upon my arrival. The bar and restaurant remained closed throughout my stay. Limited storage existed and the room felt dark when curtains were drawn to maintain privacy. NO ONE offered a solution.
