Our stay in the hotel is pretty average. We were able to walk to restaurants in the city (average about 20mins walk). We had breakfast at the restaurant on the hotel which has a good review. I ordered salmon eggs benedict, the eggs were overcooked for a poached eggs, the sauce too tangy and the salmon tasted a bit off. For some reason when we checked in, the rubbish bins in the hotel are not lined with plastic bags. The room has good amount of amenities i.e. stoves, fridge, and cooking utensil

The property perhaps is not very business stay friendly, it obviously depends on the day but it is very very loud with swimming pool occupied most of the day by loud noises and windows not blocking the noise, it's good if you're here for holidays not if you're here for work and need rest. Also there are no microwaves in Studio rooms even though they have them on photos. Other than that, it's good.

Helpful staff, but the hotel needs to update their website to reflect the accommodation offered! We booked a studio unit with everything it listed but there was no microwave as stated, no bowls or spoons for breakfast. They very promptly sorted it out for us!
