I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were blessedly dark, allowing for a good night's sleep despite being in the city, but they felt tired and dated. On the bright side, the rooms were quite large, a significant upgrade from a basic room I'd stayed in before.

The hotel's proximity to various attractions like the Esplanade, parks, beach, and Smith Street Mall was ideal, perfect for dining out and exploring. However, the area outside the hotel was noisy and in need of improvement.

The dining options were good. The in-room facilities provided everything we needed, and the salmon dish was really enjoyable.

The hotel offers simple but adequate rooms with all necessary requirements. While the strong bleach and sanitizer smell was off-putting, the overall stay was comfortable and convenient. The service was a mix of helpfulness and unprofessionalism, but the location was excellent, especially for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was good, with wholesome food options available.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room I stayed in was on the ground floor with a view of the dingy car park, and it needed serious improvements. Although the service was quite helpful and I felt safe and secure, the property overall seemed in need of upgrades. The location was convenient, being near the airport and amenities, but it lacked some crucial facilities. Dining options were limited, and the facilities seemed outdated.
