"We stayed in the twin deluxe room for one night. 2 adults 1child. Stunning secor theoughout the hotel, impeccably clean. Loved the free mini bar (soft drinks, juice and water) and plunger coffee. Shower was large and 2 shower heads (1 rain shower head). Beds were hard and comfortable and room was very quiet with double glazed windows. Staff were very friendly. Only downside was checking in, staff advised they would call when room was available after 1500hrs and did not receive a call."
