Sorry but the food was awful, like really bad. I saw someone order Uber eats at our awards function because the food was so bad. Breakfast both days was cold and dried out. Staff were helpful but when we asked about air con not working in our room we were advised it is not turned on when it is cold outside and we should just open the windows. They brought us as pedestal fan as it was so hot in our room and we couldn't sleep without air circulation.

The bed was super comfy so had a peaceful nights sleep . Great sized room with a couch, desk, coffee table and a king size bed. The room was made up when i departed for the day but found it strange that the tea and coffee station wasnt replenished so had to call for more supplies.
