This stay was extremely great. My family and I enjoyed it very much. Other than the slight issue with the TV that was immediately fixed by the kind hotel staff, there were no issues what so ever. With the convenience of West Leagues club attached to the hotel, easy access and great food.

Couldn't fault this hotel. We stayed in a family room which was huge. Beds very comfortable and no noise from outside, meant a great night's sleep. The location next to Wests was perfect for us to have dinner at a kid-friendly spot and excellent breakfast the next morning, easily charged back to the room. Would definitely recommend.

The hotel was awesome - late checkout was really good. We had room service and it was also good. The shower was very good (one of the most important things I feel). The staff were very helpful. My only complaint is that the hotel did not have it's own swimming pool. We went across to the gym to have a family swim, only to be told (extremely rudely) that children were not permitted in the pool, unless they were full paying members, or signed up for an expensive swim school. The hotel should not advertise it has access to pool facilities if all hotel guests are not aloud to use them. The hotel itself was great though. We could here a bit of hallway noise, but generally it was quiet and comfortable.

The hotel facade is really modern but the inside is bit old. The hotel states that they are 4 star. This is definitely not 4 star, maximum 3. The room has an old and dusty smell. When the air is not fresh in a room, you will not have high expectations of the cleaness. Overall, the price is reasonable for the holiday period, but personally, I wont come back to stay or recommend to my friend and family
