The location is good, property itself is reasonable and gym is decent. Condition of the room isn't amazing - shoddy patch up work on the bathroom door, toilet seat falling off its hinges, some pink mould around the bath tiles.

Location was great for me. Liked the option of not needing room service every day. As a solo traveler my didn't need cleaning every day. Breakfast buffet was very good. The lack of elevators was frustrating. Would have liked the option of making tea/coffee in my room. Overall I would stay again.

We arrived from the cruise port over 3 hrs ahead of 2pm check in but was told a room was ready and no extra charge. The location was a 5 minute walk to all public transportation. Buffet Breakfast was good but found the price high.
