Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Transfer staff were excellent, well mannered and very informative. Shame the rest of the stay was terrible. Inaccurate description, total lies. Staff on site were hostile. Breakfast order was so late we ended up leaving without it arriving as our transfer was due, despite asking if it was coming. We arrived with an hour for breakfast but still they were so slow. I would not recommend this hotel.
