Room was comfortable. But not having air-conditioning in the hallways is very uncomfortable with only one lift. Also the tv reception was terrible 😞

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found your room comfortable, however we’re sorry to learn that other aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. We understand how the lack of air conditioning in the hallways and limited lift access can impact comfort, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We also apologise for the issues you experienced with the TV reception and will have this reviewed by our team. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back for an improved experience in the future. Regards Ashleigh
