Top compliments to management and staff as I requested a quietly positioned room if possible and they obliged with a delightful room at the end of a corridor with wonderful ocean views. I slept blissfully for my 3 night stay. Parking was also on the premises and only $13/day.

The view was spectacular from the 11th floor. The pool deck was so hot and not enough shaded areas for children.

Arrived early and planned to drop off my bag into storage until check in time. My room was available so was able to check in much earlier than advertised. Thank you for that

This hotel has an amazing fit out - the pool and bar area are fantastic and right across the road from the Esplanade. The staff are helpful and very friendly. I could not fault it. If anything, it is a bit dated but otherwise terrific.
