Excellent Hotel with Great Leisure Facilities

The staff were always available and ready to help with any questions i had. My room was very clean with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I appreciated the gym facilities, especially the boxing bags. They are a nice addition. Breakfast was tasty, though the choices were somewhat limited.
i noticed some maintenance work during the day, there was some banging but it didn't affect my overall stay.
