I like the studio, which has an good view of the sea, and the hotel is close to the amenities and eating places. Being a studio room, I would have love a worktable so that those on business trips can work in the room. Presently, we have to work on the bar counter will is not good as it strain the back.

Good location

The location is very good for the event that I attended. I can just walk for 5-7 minutes from the hotel to All Saints Cathedral, and it's was help me cut the transportation cost. 1st night I can't sleep well because of the itchy on my body, and I believe the bedsheets was not clean. But thanks for the cleaners that the next day after I informed the cleaners and asked them to change my bedsheets, they responded well and I have a good rest well.
