Would have preferred king bed not to be two beds joined together to make a king. Continental breakfast was great value for 10.00 per person and great to be able to store luggage.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We were not happy with the room (a "Superior King"). It was nothing like the picture advertised. It had no windows. I immediately called reception to ask for the room we booked - i.e. one with windows - and was told I would have had to request this specifically in the booking. This is absurd of course - there was no way to know this, since the room advertised had a lovely big window (with table and chairs, which also weren't there). I was then told there was nothing else available and that was it. Using photos that are completely different to the room you get is deceptive. Also, there's not enough privacy between the room and the bathroom as the door doesn't fully close.

We were unable to access our room by elevator…we were on level 1 …7 stairs down to an open atrium with rooms around a common courtyard. 2 seniors should not be required to haul luggage up and down stairs just to get in and out of our room! The room itself had water outside the door…at 9 am, they flood the plants and cause the floors to be slippery on top of hauling luggage! Very disappointing and a ridiculous setup for a hotel! We did not enjoy our stay…luckily we only booked 1 night.
