Our recent stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the pool and certain staff members were lovely, the overall unfriendly reception experience and lack of attentiveness during meals brought our spirits down. The rooms were spacious but definitely need some updates. Given the pricing, I expected more warmth and a better service experience.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at the hotel, which has potential but falls short in several areas. While the location near Merry Hill is convenient and the spacious rooms are a plus, the service left much to be desired-the staff were not overly friendly or helpful. The dining experience was particularly disappointing, with bland food that didn't live up to the expectations. The pool facilities are nice, but I felt overall that the hotel needs to pay more attention to guest satisfaction.

I had a pleasant two-night stay with good value for money, as the club room offered spacious accommodations and included a decent breakfast buffet. The service was commendable, especially from the restaurant staff, making me feel welcomed. However, the lack of air conditioning in the rooms was a downside during my stay, and the cleanliness was not as high as I expected.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The lovely clean rooms and spacious layout made a positive impression, but the noise from cars revving outside late at night really affected our experience. Service was commendable, especially during the evening meal, but the cocktail offerings at the bar were quite limited. Overall, it was a nice place with potential, yet there were a few aspects that definitely need improvement.
