Stayed for one night for business purposes. Room and view weren't anything to write home about but room was clean and functional. I requested a king bed due to back issues and an early check in, and both were granted. However bed was two singles together so not very comfortable. Soap and shampoo dispensers in shower were completely empty. I enjoyed my stay. Lobby could do with a key drop as reception was unmanned when I went to check out.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort

Not happy

The receptionist was very rude even made us pay a security deposit and not one other person that checked in when we did they even came and told us that they didnt have too pay a security deposit.. she made us feel uncomfortable judging us by the way we look as we are experiencing a rough time in our lives going through homelessness as my partner had accident at work and cut his arm severely with a grinder so we wanted a warm cossy place for a night. Instead we were made to feel like lower class citizens. Also would not accept a clear photo of my license or Proof of Age card that I had saved on my phone for moments when I don't have my physical id on hand which were both valid.

The property was awesome. Though we were not happy with EXPEDIA. Expedia falsely showd the rooms view as ocean although there are NO ocean views for guests only residents. We booked this due to the advertising pictures of the room and view displayed by expedia and was really let down by the fact we had a view of a carpark!!! , the staff were great in upgrading our room for us so we could atleast see over the carpark but explained that the views shown in the pics were completely expedias fault
