Good location, but old building

The views is great, but the building is pretty old, bathroom is small and no exhaust fan inside, need a renovation. We were not happy with the room that they allocated to us at the beginning as it's really bad, but the staff managed to change us to another room, so it's ok!

The hotel is very convenient to all of the shopping, restaurants, and Marina. It is very easy to get to every single thing that you need. There’s also a full-size grocery store with an easy walking distance. The staff at the hotel is extremely friendly and very helpful as well. The only item that needs improvement is the cleanliness of the hot tub. It definitely needs to be checked more often.

I loved the view but prefer the Double tree Hilton up the road for the little touches. Not enough tea and coffee in the room and no facility to warm milk for coffee just little things but considering the expense … otherwise lovely clean comfortable rooms within walking distance to everything
