Nice place to stay

Very easy check in, although not a clear area to park and do this. Quick and well explained process including access to the car parking. Room was good, although a weird smell was in there and we needed to open the balcony door to get rid of the smell, this smell lingered whenever the room was left closed up. Air conditioning filters were clean so not sure what the smell was, spoke to the lady at reception and it was noted. The room itself was great, good space and comfortable. The bathroom was small, but the bonus of the washing machine and dryer suited us. The water pressure and heat from the shower was very average. The biggest gripe for us was no drawers to pack away our stuff. The wardrobe suited us but not having any drawers was a tad annoying. The view from the room to watch the sunrise was great and we enjoyed the espresso machine in the room. Breakfast at the hotel was average.

Air-conditioning wasn't working efficiently and starting leaking water. The maintenance person came into the room but didn't fix the problem so we put a towel on the ground for the night to catch the water.

I booked for 5, got 4 towels. No spare blankets available in the room. The breakfast was good but the rest of the food was terrible. Staff seemed okay but one was super rude. I paid for parking but found it was overbooked at times. The view was nice and location was obviously pretty good. Overall I wouldn't recommend.
