Was greeted with a very warm welcome and like the stress free check in with easy to follow instructions. Room was spotless and with a nice view over the ocean,esplanade and lagoon. Everything we needed was here microwave.. stove..washing machine and all pots pans ect… Right outside front door is night markets and if you don’t want to cook there is a food court with food from around the world. But had a peaceful time and great security. Nice to return after 10 years and find it is still perfect. Thank you

Disappointed

Very disappointed. On the 6th level 04. The dryer was in the living room area. The air conditioner was very loud and affected me sleeping. The vanity was cracked. The plumbing of the vanity was held together with duct tape. The front door open into the bedroom. The noise from the foyer of the lifts open and closing could be easily herd in bedroom when you were trying to sleep. There was an ocean view but most of the view was the carparks and air condition plants and rear fire escapes and of adjust buildings. There is much better value in new properties for the money paid. I have stayed here on many occassions over the 15 years and have had be allocated much better rooms.The location is fantastic.

When we arrived we had to clean the room, floors were dirty and sticky, wash mould off the bathroom wall tiles and ceiling and the sofa was also broken. Once we cleaned and propped up the sofa our stay was great. Best views and position on the Esplanade. Stayed for 4 weeks and would stay again.
