The location was excellent and very close to the pier, which we really appreciated. However, there was a noticeable odour in the hallway leading to the room, possibly from the carpet, and a mild odour inside the room as well. It would also be helpful to have a kettle and complimentary bottled water in the room. Additionally, installing a couple of hooks behind the bathroom door would be a practical improvement. Thanks.

Staff is amazing and friendly. They were also super accommodating and chatted with me about the surrounding area even though I didn't ask. You would have to hold me and my family at g*npoint to get us to say something bad about the staff. They were really that lovely. The area around the hotel is amazing obviously. Plenty of good places to eat (HIGHLY recommend Sampa's Pizza Cafe). My problem and my partner's problem was that our room smelled like diapers. Inexplicably. Every time we entered our room we were hit with the smell of diapers. (327 I think) On top of that, the room is tiny, and is much akin to a motel 7. Or 8. Whichever is worse honestly. The experience was SO jarring because the night before we had stayed in a nearby Hilton and it was cheaper but so so so much better. This hotel is made to farm tourists for money though. I understand it's not for me. So for that I give a 3/5.
