Handy for Waterfront
Pros:

Spacious room, nicely equipped, pleasant view over Waterfront, walking distance from town centre (10-15 minutes) and from local park. Lot of activities on Waterfront - swimming, cruises - although we did not have time to use them. Buffet breakfast available from 6 am (there is a rush at this time with people leaving for tours).

Cons:

Disappointed not to have been able to watch sunset from room as we were on level 2 and the windows faced the wrong direction. No balcony but we could open windows.

Vibe was ideal in location. It would be lovely to see a refresh of rooms and facilities in order to justify the price.
Pros:

Close to the foreshore, restaurants and bars.

Cons:

The room was small for the price we paid. Pool needs a refresh as it is missing tiles and appears worn.

It was a short stay on our way to another venture, and sufficed our needs.
Pros:

Location. Cleanliness.

Cons:

Distance to elevators from the room. How tired the carpets to the room were and the need for a little TLC in rooms and hallways. To be fair it didn’t ditract from the stay as the hotel is obviously very well used.
