Nice hotel on the water. Pretty loud music every night from the downstairs restaurants.. pool was clean and spacious. Room we had was clean and stocked. Central location, but no transportation. It’s walkable to Westfield mall and art museum. Few restaurants around and at the property itself.

Our first room was infested with cockroaches. Second room was two levels which makes it difficult to live out of our suitcase. Temperature of 2nd floor where the bed is was too hot despite having the air conditioner on all night. Lighting was not adequate.
