The rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool area is great for kids, but is very crowded. The room service food is ok, but very overpriced. The hotel is conveniently close to amenities like a supermarket, transport and restaurants.
I would stay there again.

Property is very clean and rooms were modern, comfortable and nicely decorated. Bed was very comfortable and shower had great water pressure. Would definitely stay here again. Other issue we had was arriving on a busy Friday night finding a park while organising valet was a little stressful.
