Booked and the high price specifically for swimming pool compared to other properties at same time. But unfortunately were told it was getting repaired. No update re this nor compensation. Otherwise location and transport services close by to all major attractions.

The Stanley
Pool area and rooftop restaurant were great. Room were tired and needed a refresh. Breakfast was ok, not a big choice and many tables were left uncleared after guests had left.
