I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic with ample charging stations and spacious, comfy beds. We also enjoyed the huge bathroom with an amazing shower and our balcony was a great spot to relax. However, the basement rooms lacked natural light, which was a downside.

The hotel was set in a convenient location near the harbour, beach, and the iconic Post Office tree. The rooms were comfortable and had good bathroom amenities, though the absence of hair conditioner was noticeable. Price point contributes significantly to its appeal. The AC worked well to combat the heat on hotter days.

My stay at the hotel was really pleasant. The room was comfortable and well equipped, although it had a bit of a generic chain hotel feel. The service was top-notch, and the location was excellent, although a room with a higher view would have been nicer. The dining experience was fulfilling and exceeded my expectations. Overall, a great stay with some minor room for improvement.
