"Staff were friendly and helpful. The room as nice and spacious with a balcony. We requested for the room to be made up upon check in but had to request again as housekeeping had not been- they were prompt to do so. The construction of the new tower was only a bother in the morning and it was a little frustrating that we were only informed this was happening after booking a non refundable room. Luckily our second night was a public holiday."
