This hotel was in a great location. Bed was comfortable. Staff was polite. It was tough dropping off our luggage as there is really no place to stop and parking is really far away. Other than the parking, our stay was wonderful here.

It’s a good hotel but rooms are small, the great thing about this property is that it’s so close to the beach, shopping and entertainment. One of the best hotels in terms of being at the center of everything!

Quick and easy check in, plenty of food options nearby. Iron available on request. Beds were quad in family room very comfortable beds. Rooms were a little small but was okay for us as we only stayed for two nights. The tv could have been better by offering tv channels of English language.

Fantastic location with excellent choices around for food and drinks. Beach (pebble) is an easy 5-10 minute walk away and tram links are just around the corner. Rooms are small so if you like space, this may not be for you but for a few nights, this hotel is perfect.
