The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great. the comfortable bed provided good rest, and the amazing views were just across the road from my room. i found the free parking at the hotel very useful.
i found the bathroom to be quite small in comparison to the large room. this made it a little inconvenient. it could benefit from being a bit more spacious.

The air conditioning system seemed to have a mind of ITS own. I tried adjusting the temperature, BUT it remained stubbornly warm. Also , the absence of screens on the doors prevented me from enjoying the cooler outside air at night.
