Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel met our needs. I thought we were going to have a balcony room, but it was literally just a door that opened to a 1/2 of a door-sized piece of glass& you were still standing inside your room. Breakfast and bar on rooftop balcony did make up for the shortfall. It was hard to tell the size of the rooms on-line, but they are pretty small.

The breakfast was horrible, food was cold. I did not recieve my VIP access. I left the sign on the door for the room to be cleaned. I had to call as the cleaners passed our room. Location is excellent though, and hotel is very clean. I also paid for parking and its a nightmear. You are not guarnteed a spot, so once you get one, dont leave it. We took bolt to the mall so we didnt loose our space. An added expense.

The air conditioning in the room was terrible since getting here the room stayed on 26 degrees had heating on full lowest it could go was 19 degree's we even shut the curtains to keep the light out when we checked in. We had a our own room temperature guide and the lowest it went to it the night was 25 degrees spoke to reception and they were absolutely useless suggesting we must try switch on and off and open and close windows. Told her the lobby was colder than my room where she said yes sometimes it gets to cold here. The curtains were not proper black out curtains the light came through the top and bottom not sure if we have the sign outside by us but a light shined through the whole night. We have a 17 month old and he struggled. Then at 11 o clock in the evening myself and the little one awoke with scrapping and moving around chair's above us at the roof. Terrible would not recommend this place.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is in a good location. Our room was small, very outdated, and incredibly uncomfortable. Beds seemed like hostel beds. Linens looked clean but smelled like they weren’t fresh. I do believe they were freshly washed, but maybe they are old and the smell couldn’t be washed out? Hallway had a horrible sour/chemical smell. Overall, very disappointed.

From check in to check out - our stay was excellent. The atmosphere was most pleasant which tells you it is very well managed with no grumpiness whatsoever. The location was central for all the things like restaurants, ferries, buses and railway station. Our advice is to use theses to maximise your stay particularly the beaches.
