Fantastic food for a large variety of palates
There is plenty of choice at the hotel's onsite restaurant. The restaurant is quite large and divided into various sections. The quality of the food and desserts offered is also very high.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking space under the hotel is very expensive
Some guests find that the parking charges in the lot under the hotel are overpriced. A few were especially concerned because they were using their cars several times a day as their main means of transport and got charged every time they drove in or out of the parking area.
negative:
Noisy during the peak summer season
If you want to go to the hotel for some rest and relaxation, it would be best to choose higher rooms especially during the summer as there are a lot of parties and things can get a bit noisy even with the windows closed.
negative:
Wi-Fi not available in all the rooms
The Wi-Fi signal is very weak if at all present in some of the rooms. Slow speeds are also experienced in a few public areas.
