Place is amazing! Make sure to get a room with the atrium balcony, it'a beautiful. The plants are a wonderful touch, and during the day the sun lights everything up through the ceiling. Breakfast very tasty. Only thing we didn't like was our bed was quite firm, hard to sleep on without waking up or being sore after.

Needs investment
Front of the hotel looks great and the breakfast is nice but everything else is pretty bad. Internally the hotel is so tired and run down. The sofa in the room was disgusting. 40 years ago the hotel would have been amazing but sadly not anymore
