The location is very good. Staff are ok, bathroom was flooding due to a water leak but maintenance said they couldn't do anything. No other room offered. Breakfast is very basic and most choices have ran out by 9 am. Overpriced for what you get. I'm not going there again.

Just okay

I booked this hotel for its location-wise, surrounded by eateries and near to waterfront. But I think this hotel need to improve its cleanliness and upgrade its breakfast menu.
