We chose the penthouse, because I felt like a penthouse would be good. It wasn’t. We flew late at night from the US only to learn that the penthouse was on the 5th floor and they didn’t have an elevator. This made it impossible to stop by quickly at the hotel to get a hat or quickly change a shirt. We didn’t stay. We left the same night and went and stayed at their sister property with an elevator. From what I could see, the penthouse terrace was nice but I wasn’t about to do stairs the whole time.

We were in a "Deluxe" room which was too small by normal standards - cramped interior with things hemmed in! There was not much space to freely move around. There was no shower curtain to start with and the hotel provided a hot water kettle after reminders. Prompt and pleasing staff service with a good breakfast.
