Great value. Directly across from the beach. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are clean. The hotel has been modernized and again, great value for the price and services.
The hotel boasts fantastic views of the city skyline, with spacious and well-furnished rooms that are tastefully decorated. The staff is helpful and friendly, providing excellent customer service.
It was easy no fuss check-in. Room was clean but needs repairs. Overall a good experience.

Travelled with family for a weekend to use the pool. Booked the two bedroom premium room.
Check-in was delayed by an hour because staff could not figure out difference between included breakfast in initial booking. Very unprofessional in service and did not offer appropriate explanation, I had to pay for breakfast again even though Expedia itinerary had included breakfast in overall cost.
Pool was only opened for an hour, and closed off for the remainder of the weekend due to cleaning. Guests were not informed of this when we checked in.
Room was okay, towels and toiletries were provided only upon request. Room is at the back so could be accessed through stairs only.
Restaurant staff for breakfast were also clueless for paid breakfast and we had to wait again for them to confirm with front staff.

Mini Staycation
We chose this hotel for its beautiful location, privacy & space. The restaurant looked refurbished & had a really good menu choice. The ease of grabbing a coffee from the adjoining coffee shop was a bonus. Staff were ever so helpful & housekeepers so thorough. Loved the welcome from the security guards at the gate on entry & exit.
Unfortunately the bed was a huge let down. Very uncomfortable & in desperate need of replacement, two long singles pushed together with no mattress topper made for an aching body the next morning.
The staff are exceptional. Very friendly and effecient. The room was disgusting! There was mould on the ceiling in the bathroom. I could feel every spring in the mattress. The fridge disnt work. And the odor in the lobby area to the rooms was beyond words!!! I would take as littlw shallow breaths until i got to the reception. Steamships should be ashamed of how they expect their staff to work in that place. Its unhygienic for guests and staff.
Besides the ataff, there was nothing good about staying there.
I would not recommand this hotel to anyone.
The staff was eager to please and sincerely tied to do their best. However, three issues really frustrated me. First, I called the hotel the day before check-in to make sure the shuttle would be ready for me when I exited the airport. When I exited the the airport, there was no shuttle for 30+ minutes. My lunch appointment cancelled on me. Second, the USB outlets in my rokm didn’t work. I was told by 3 employees it would be fixed, but it never was. Three, I killed at least TEN roaches in my room. Eight were babies, and two were grown. Unacceptable. I didn’t complain because I was already settled for the night, and I couldn’t imagine packing my things to move to another room. Would I stay here again? Probably. I liked its proximity to the beach.
I paid rooms including breakfast and they did not have on their list. Very unprofessional.
They have no courtesy at all.I would not stay there again and will tell my friends of the poor service
