My husband and I stayed there for our anniversary. Staff were wonderful, check in was easy, locations was great and room was great as well. We will definitely be staying there again.
The location is great, this is close to the Aquarium. We were able to walk everywhere but fora small fee there is a bus to use. Very pleasant staff. Room was clean.
Great location - easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Room was clean and staff were friendly.
The only thing I would say is that the shower door needs to be adjusted or needs a gasket because after a shower the floor outside was soaked.
Staff was amazing. Check in was fast and room was clean with a nice view. The fire pits were nice to sit around and enjoy. Location perfect for walking everywhere.
