Very good for the price, the only thing they can improve is the laundry room. It requires quarters and they only give change if one has money (bills). I asked them to charge my card for $10.00 and give change for laundry and was denied. I had to walk blocks for an ATM since I didn’t have a vehicle

Not bad at all

The Hotel overall was ok. Nice pool and pool area. Rooms are ok nothing special at all. Our bathtub held water and the toilet didn’t flush properly and kept running. The front desk was great, I needed to upgrade My room from a king bed to two queen beds and she was very helpful. So overall I’d stay there again now knowing what to expect.

Great hotel. Good buffet breakfast and the staff were friendly and replenished the food very quickly. Rooms were cleaned everyday and towels replaced daily. Cleaning was of a high standard. In a quiet area, overlooking the marina. Buses were a bit difficult and the one to go downtown didn't run at weekends. There was an alternative if you know your bus routes. Took a bit longer though to city centre. Had a problem with the fridge in the room, and they sorted with a new fridge within 10 minutes of reporting it. Check in staff were friendly, helpful, and respectful, with the exception of a male receptionist. Happy to look after our luggage on check out as we were on a night flight. They even offered us an 3 hour extension of our room. Very much appreciated. Didn't like the look of the pool, and spa pool. Looked a little grubby. Overall, I would be more than happy to return to hotel.
