I decided to give the hotel another chance. I regret that. The room was awful, dated, toilet didn’t flush properly, shower head had minimal water coming out with more water running out of the back of it. The noise from the room next door at 4am was so so loud till approx 6am. Minimal sleep had. However the gentleman on concierge looking after our bags was a credit to the hotel. A true diamond in a very poor, dated in need of major TLC hotel.
