Bed comfortable and nice pillows
Tripadvisor, January 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
Cleaning staff did an exceptional job well done, the views were great, the pillows could be softer and the thing that did let down the suite was the lounge suite it is badly stained and really needs to be replaced to bring it up to a better standard.
