"First of all let me say that we really enjoyed our stay. The room was just fine, the view was amazing, the pool was good and the restaurant (we only had the breakfast buffet) was very good. The location couldn't have been much better due to it's proximity to the markets. The hotel staff were all excellent and we were very happy with the price. The only negative things I have to say are some minor condition complaints. Our room needed to have the carpet cleaned and the sofa needed it's upholstery...

"Disappointed cause we booked king size bed but given queen size. When we asked they said its up to them not up to hotels.com to decide the room we get! The king size bed rooms are bigger but we were given first floor where most of the rooms are smaller. Apart from that the location, cleanliness all ok but in future we have to book direct to make sure we get the size of rooms we want"
