Waterfront absolutely beautiful . Beds are not that great and we stayed in the double full with kitchenette however ours was on the first floor and come 5:30-5:45am there was noise in upstairs apartment and woke us both mornings someone getting ready for work most likely just very thin barrier and can hear walking across floor and bangs very cleary. If we return I will book the standard double full and we won’t have that problem as there is no upstairs apartments .

Clean basic hotel with no frills

The facility was easy to check-in to even without anyone working at registration. It was clean, and had the basics we needed for our trip, but no frills, The AC in our room was insufficient for the size of the room. The mattresses were extremely cheap. If one person moved in bed, anyone next to them got jostled.

We have never seen the staff. You just talk to a machine. Not too inviting. But the room was somewhat clean. The small table wasn't stable and tried to fall every second. Nevertheless for this price will stop here again. Just an old and grumpy fart's notes :-)

We did not stay there as we went and booked a room in another hotel. Area was poor, parking was poor and room was very basic with no amenities and nothing near to eat at. Didn’t feel safe there so went to another hotel
