It was a good experience overall. The room was and the bed was comfortable, though it was not fully sound proof as we can hear the people from upstairs and the other unit.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room smelled like chemicals, then I found a can of bug spray in the cupboard and realized that it is what the room smelled like. Not an environment I wanted to sleep in. My TV wasn't working and I had to get someone to come fix it which took about 20 minutes. My meal at the restaurant was pretty bad. After a long day, I was looking forward to a decent meal and was quite disappointed.

Good room - comfortable big king bed, lovely shower. Room was small and wifi was spotty. But nice for a one night stay. The hotel rooms are very small for the tariff and any more than 1 night, I would recommend a larger room. But pleasant staff, easy checkin and quiet location.

The room we ended up in was good. Be careful when booking because all the pictures are of the upgraded rooms. We even book a king room and when we arrived the room felt more like a closet. The restroom was bigger than the rest of the living space. We went back to the desk and upgraded and the second room was way better. Very comfortable and relaxing with a great view. Was definitely frustrating to have to pay extra though for what we thought we would receive initially.
