Good location and very close to the beach. I used the walking track for my evening runs to the riverfront and back. The rooms are well appointed however you can see signs of wear and tear. The room was quite dark however opening up the curtain all the way makes a difference. If you have a neighbour who smokes, then opeing the back sliding door is not a good idea. There were landscaping works going on in the back which was mildly distracting. The WiFi is horrendous and if you're travelling for business like me and need a stable WiFi connection, this is not the place to stay. Management could easily add more network points. Mobile reception is also quite poor in the area. I was only given one key which is needed to turn the power to the room on. At night time, this becomes an inconvenience as it is pitch dark in the room and difficult to find your way around.
