"Great property and friendly staff. Refurbed rooms look great although the water pressure was white low. Beds are really comfortable. Only negative was no aircon, which is mitigated by fans, but the windows don't really open more than an inch (2nd floor) so impossible to get air flow. Doesn't really cater for children, with.thijgs like bed guards, considering how high the beds are"

Environment good and cool but it would be nice for cool air fan to be available in the room if not AC to accommodate the current hot weather. Also, TV is not a smart TV to reflect the standard of modern hotels."
