Cool stay with great views!

Had a blast chillin' in a super spacious suite with fab views of the waterfront! Staff were super friendly and helped us out when we needed things. The only bummer? The music from downstairs was kinda loud and kept us up a bit. But the restaurant food was delish!

poor wifi connectivity

The location is perfect for exploring, only a short walk to the waterfront, and the spacious two-bedroom suite offered stunning views. Daily cleaning and restocking were excellent, making the stay comfortable. the furniture showed signs of wear, and the dining options were limited and unexciting. WiFi connectivity in the rooms was practically non-existent, forcing many to crowd in the lobby for a signal.
