Good location, Hoi Polloi downstairs and is handy for drinks and food. Dissapointed we were not asked if we had joined there rewards programme before ordering. Good selection there for the buffet breakfast. Easy to get to the main strip, all walking distance. We would use again.

Nice comfy bed and quiet rooms. Good pressure in the shoewr The accesable rooms need some consideration. A bit more space to get a wheel chair around the bed. Not enough room to turn a wheelchair around. The bathroom wasnt accesable. No hand rails to hold on to. And toilet is low and no hand rails to assist in getting your self up. This is a safty concern.
