Never in my life have I stayed in accommodation as filthy as this place! The shower was filthy with thick white smears all over the glass and mold along the tracks and in the drain. There was long black hair all through the bathroom and there was fecal matter on the wall next to the toilet. We didn’t notice this until we returned after midnight from the even we were attending with the hopes of having a shower before bed but after seeing the state of the bathroom I couldn’t bring myself to use it. We had housekeeping knock on the door at 9am when we were checking out at 10am. The bedside lamps didn’t work above either bed, there was no toilet brush nor any washing up liquid to wash out mugs before we could use them again which begs the question how many people use them and just rinse and dry them and put them back in the cupboard? When I checked out and spoke to ‘the manager’ he refused to acknowledge there was a problem with the room even after we went back with him and showed him. His attitude was disgusting! Don’t book here, spend your money at a place where they actually care about your stay and aren’t going to be shut down by the health department in the near future!

The room matched the pictures and was lovely. The Smart TV's in the main bedroom and second bedroom where of great use and very much appreciated. The shower was pretty lackluster and changed temperature on it's own frequently, and had very little pressure. Didn't talk to the concierge much because he wasn't all that friendly or welcoming when we arrived. Didn't bother going across to the restaurant due to this initial interaction, so can't comment on the food. It should be noted there is no pool onsite, despite conflicting reports online. Overall a nice play to stay on the way to somewhere else, but I wouldn't consider this your ultimate destination or home base for a long stay.
