Staffers are slow to respond to individual requests, and renovations are intermittent with rooms within the same category varying in standards.
Time Out
"Rooms themselves are of a good size, and come with all the expected trappings. A big plus is the excellent health club and pool, both open to non-guests for a fee." Full review
