Communication is dreadful - Avoid

Liked:This hotel is a waste of time so unhelpful nothing positive what so ever to speak about

Disliked:Avoid at all costs the communication from this hotel is nothing short of disgraceful, we contacted the hotel for a change of date and were initially given a new date until on the original day they decided to cancel the amended date leaving us with no alternative but to lose our money. All telephone lines loop back to a waste of time automated service which offers 0 help. Truly avoid if you value basic communication as a minimum.
