First stay at this hotel and we were impressed. The rooms are large, light & airy with large bathrooms and the hotel is in a good location. Had dinner in the restaurant and agree with other reviewers that the service does need to be fine tuned to meet the 5 star standard. The staff are very friendly and polite its... More
