Pros:

Cozy modern room and very clean. Loved the bathroom. Big mirror and shower. Continuous fans in the bathroom allowed wet towels and clothing to dry. Surprise housekeeping service on the 5th day when we were out. We thought there was no housekeeping so we were happy with that. Overall the room was great. We were very comfortable.

Cons:

A microwave would have been good.
Free movies were a good idea but the choices weren't that great.

Shame nice hotel spoiled by noise 6am onwards
Pros:

Modern, clean, nice rooms and good location

Cons:

Rooms on Floor 4 are impossible to rest in after 6am when chairs and furniture at the restaurant on the floor above start getting moved around. The Ocean View rooms look into trees in reality.

Great location
Pros:

Location was perfect and room was clean and comfortable

Cons:

Being on level 4, we did hear a lot of chair and table dragging noise from the rooftop bar between 0630am and 9pm. Would pick to stay on lower level next time to avoid this. Checking out was very quick too
