The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, with a super nice large size balcony. The room was a free upgrade - and made a huge difference. Facilities within the room and hotel were exceptional, and despite warning of being able to hear the music from the downstairs nightclub , I honestly couldn’t hear a thing!

I guess the room was ok, it met the expectations for that price.
I was disappointed to find out that the power points in the kitchen were turned off after 10pm. I guess this was to control and keep the place clean after hours- but have you guys given thought to guest like myself who arrived after hours and needed to cook some food or heat up take away food? This I found was very inconvinient and not reccomendable to guest arriving after 10pm
