It was all just okay. Nothing great. Nothing terrible. However, the room looked like the cleaning staff spent maybe 15 minutes at most cleaning. It was not thorough at all.

The location of this hotel is great, Right across from the beach & warf. We had a room with a shared patio with a partial view, which was nice. I really expected this hotel to be much better for the price we paid. We found our room to not be very clean. Hair on the bathroom floor also on the beds also the room in general was dusty.

5 Stars – Fantastic Stay! I had an amazing experience during my stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, everything was top-notch. The rooms were incredibly clean, spacious, and well-appointed — you can tell attention to detail is a priority here. The beds were super comfortable, and everything felt fresh and modern. One of the best parts was the location — there are tons of activities and attractions nearby, whether you're into shopping, dining, or exploring local sights. It made it easy to keep busy and enjoy the area without needing to go far. The staff was friendly and professional, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. I’d absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and will definitely be coming back!

Great view with comfort

We enjoyed the stay there. The room was a little bigger than a normal hotel room. The bed was super comfortable. I love the Front that you could go out and we had a view of the beach which was wonderful.
