A handy spot.
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location. Right in the middle of the city and only meters from the beach.

Cons:

The bathroom light did not work, we reported this and were told nothing could be done and a maintenance report would be done. We needed to leave very early in the morning and there was no hot water for a shower. My husband had a cold shower in the dark.
The bar staff downstairs were very casual and not particularly pleasant.

It is okay for spring and summer but not for winter
Pros:

The spacious room and king bed

Cons:

The abducted air conditioning were ineffective and noisy. We were frozen on the morning. The security guard changed setting on aircon but it still did not work properly so we had a cold night.

It was OK.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable and had a good sleep

Cons:

No shampoo or conditioner in bathroom, towels were basically napkins they were so small, and overall amenities, furniture and paint work desperately need an update

Met our needs for the night.
Pros:

Clean and good location

Cons:

Tiny room, noisy and no in room kettle, microwave. Very basic and usually if we book earlier, we get a motel that is cheaper, larger and furnished with kettles and microwaves etc.
