The hotel is a bit dated, and the bathroom—especially the bathtub—could have been cleaner. It felt a little muddy and not well-maintained. That said, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made a big difference. As for the food, it was just okay—not bad, but nothing special

2nd time staying in this hotel, rooms are big and clean..Thumb up for the Seaview room.
Swimming pool maintenance should improve, not as clean as compared to the previous stay.

The hotel room is bit run down stains and mould spots can be found in bathroom and room.they mentioned while booking room are reburbished, it's actually exterior not the interior.seems like few things are broken lol.. 4 super soft pillows provided and bed is comfortable. Anyway, our room were quickly upgraded to a family room as the toilet door and lamps were broken, found stains here and there.. and we were very fast attended when asked for an extras pillows blanket etc.overall was very comfortable and quiet stay.breakfast spread were good too.All staffs are friendly and helpful.Nice view from the room too.

Good location and great breakfast but the room is very old and in need for a renovation. The bed lining is old and trigger hive attack at night.

Spacious, clean with great breakfast. Good value for the price. Ideal for business travelers as it's located at a less touristy area. Room is renewed with new paints, furniture, TV and carpet. Washroom is old fashioned but with good water pressure.
