A hidden gem with the best waterfront view! Just got back from my stay and had to leave a review. This hotel was exactly what I needed for a relaxing break. The rooms are spacious and clean way more room than you expect, with a comfortable setup that made it feel more like an apartment than a standard hotel room. But the real highlight is the waterfront view. Waking up to that was unbeatable. Staff were friendly and helpful without being over the top, check-in was smooth, and the whole place felt well maintained and quiet. Great for couples, families, or anyone who just wants space and a view to unwind. Definitely staying here again next time I’m in town. Would recommend!

I have come here twice, 2 years apart.Both times resulted in disappointment and frustration. the first time was 2024 valentines day. I called in a week before to make a reservation and then a day before to confirm. I was assured all is fine, only to arrive and find out they had no reservation logged. I then had to wait for a table. the second time was in 2026 for my wedding anniversary. this time the booking was good but the waiter got the order wrong and insisted it was vegetarian when it clearly had meat in it. the manager then confirmed they made the wrong meal and will correct it. I had to wait 2 hrs before getting out food. by then my food was gone cold while we waited for my wife's food to be remade. clearly this place is useless and falls short of any standards...

Beautiful, spacious room. Shower needs so work seeing that it is a 4 star hotel. Wifi is ok... TV sucks, not alot of channels but the worst part of it all is the loud music next door.... especially a Sunday, not everyone is on holiday, some of us are to go to work the next to see client.....

The rooms is large and has a tub and shower. There is also a mini fridge. My ac didnt work though which wasnt great. The staff seem quite apathetic. There is a restaurant on site. They have vegetarian options but the food is quite mediocre, especially breakfast. The view from the room is beautiful although don't leave the windows open as a monkey might come in
