The room was decent but it was very musky and did not smell very nice. The property in general seemed nice and the walk to Esplanade was nearby. It worked for us for one night stay but I wouldn't stay any longer. Sadly there was also a complete power outage in the hotel in the evening, not the hotels fault but it was not a pleasant experience.

The apartments were separated from the hotel -across the road. We were on the 2nd floor and no lift so it was a bit tedious. Otherwise everything was clean and comfortable

This is a budget family place if that’s what you’re looking for. The beds were old and uncomfortable. Every surface was sticky no matter how many times you wiped it clean. Bath was old mouldy in shower corners and sink cracked. It’s very very basic. It needs a lot of maintenance and updates

Accommodation was clean, bed was good. Very roomy and fine for 1 person but would have been small for 3 people. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The complex was old and could do with refurbishment. I was in room 323 on first floor which had a long verandah leading to other rooms. Very noisy with people coming and going at all hours.

Sales over service
Never have I been treated so bad at check-in. One double bed for two female friends is not acceptable in most instances. Also being told a portable bed was unavailable and ten minutes later being told there is a portable bed. There was water dripping on me whilst sitting on the toilet and also standing at the sink doing my teeth. The rooms are dated and a lift or ramp is required for heavy cases for upstairs.

Pleasant stay. Please note the advertisement says partial ocean views- there are absolutely no ocean views from this place. It also states there’s facility carparking- there’s approximately 8 carparks for the entire facility, so if this is full you are required to park on the street. Side note- my husband left his brand new wireless earphones in the room- we called reception a few hours later and they were not there.

Unpleasant to stay in the room due to strong mold smell. Noisy as it was part of connecting room; just separated by wood door. In terms of service, the receptionist was kind to help arrange some tour.

My room was inconveniently placed. Noisy overnight and early in the morning. Blinds didn’t close so the room was not dark. Lots of external lights lighting up the room. Not a bad stay as it was a quick visit.
