Room was in need of some updating and repairs. Breakfast was very expensive and average. Thermal pools were a great addition, connected to an awesome gym. Hotel was just over the road from 'eat street' with heaps of dining options. Fabulous location.

Property in a great location. Late check in seems really common. After 5:00 pm check in would be a good practice since it takes a while for them to get rooms ready.
