Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are spacious but with limited air conditioning control. The service is friendly, though some staff members may require more training. The location is excellent for exploring the city but might be a bit far for some activities. The dining experience is decent but might lack variety for the price. Overall, a place with potential but with room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The ocean view room was large and nicely furnished, offering tea and coffee facilities but missing herbal tea. The bed was very comfortable, but it fell short of what I would expect in an 'Executive Room. '
I had an amazing ocean view apartment that felt like a million dollars, even though the bathroom looked a bit tired. The room was clean, comfortable, and provided great value for the money. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring a wonderful stay, though we had to switch rooms. The location was the best, offering a quiet waterfront experience close to all the restaurants. The dining experience was delicious and reasonably priced, making it worth every penny.
The hotel offers spacious rooms filled with natural light, ideal for families, although some upgrades are needed. The service was efficient and friendly, catering to various needs. The location is convenient for exploring, despite needing updates. The dining experience, while somewhat ordinary, has a few drawbacks. Overall, a mixed experience with great potential.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant, with clean and comfortable rooms, although service was subpar. The location was convenient to some attractions but a bit out of the way from others. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities met basic needs.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The ocean view from my room was stunning, and the friendly staff made my experience even better. However, the balcony could use some cleaning to match the gorgeous view. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the heart of town and all the amenities. The dining was a bit overpriced for the average food quality, but overall, it was a great value for money.
