On the plus side I had a cavernous room, with my choice of king bed. But this place has clearly seen better days, probably 5 or 6 decades ago.

While it is clear that the hotel has spent some money on the appearance of the lobby and entrance area they have neglected the actual rooms for quite some time. The furnishings are beyond dated, needed to be replaced decades ago. Everything in the room seemed dirty, the grout in the shower was cracked, the sink drain stop was missing, all the chrome/metal was tarnished, the ceiling fan was old and dusty. Probably the most offensive was the large reddish/pink adult body-sized stain on the bedsheets. The night staff quickly came and changed the sheets for us but how did those sheets end up on the bed without being noticed by the cleaning staff? And what other parts of the room have not been cleaned properly? Made it difficult to get a good night sleep after that. Room service trash was left in the hallway for days on end, the pile even growing throughout our 3-day stay. Overall a very disappointing stay.

the staff are good and welcoming. Maintenance needs to step up a bit more. I had to get the loo roll holder fixed, something house keeping should of sorted before hand. We were there for the Christmas buffet, but they hadn't prepared for the extremely hot day, Salads and seafood had no cold packs under them and the desserts were melting.

They offer a room with a hot tub, as an upgrade which was really nice to see. Unfortunately was not working, when I called the receptionist he told me all hot tub not working in the hotel, then we figure that the fridge also not working Hotel is big and nice, however, management is not taking care of it
