Pros (+) We enjoyed staying in the heritage part of the hotel. It really did feel like going back in time. The suite was very comfortable with everything you'd expect from a hotel of this level. The staff in front of house were extremely helpful.
Cons (-) The pool in the heritage section was closed for our entire stay. However the pool at the victory wing was pleasant and not too far to walk. The gym in the heritage section has little in the way of cardio equipment but again, there is a full range in the gym in the other section.
Pros (+) Staff very friendly and helpful
Cons (-) Taxi drivers at the hotel try to take advantage of tourists.
Pros (+) Breakfast good
Cons (-) lunch and dinner poor
Cons (-) I wish the in room dining menu would be more extensive. There was a very less choice for in room dining considering my parents can't walk to the restaurant.
