Great hotel, lovely views and wonderful service. Was a little surprised that the hotel doesn’t offer free wifi, you would think that would be the norm in this day and age.

Good location but hygiene needs improvement

Pros: - unbeatable location - the aircon in the room was very quiet - bed and pillows were comfortable Cons: - many areas were quite dirty - big cockroaches in the car park and also inside the washrooms in the hotel lobby - housekeeping removed our hand towel on the second day without replacing it, and put a used towel back on top of the folded ‘clean’ pile of towels - the room was quite dirty and a wiping the bathroom counter top and other surfaces turned the tissues grey with dirt and dust - room curtains did not really block out the light, and had several holes in the fabric - car park was a bit tight to get in and out of, and whilst the parking fee was listed on the website as $35/night, it was actually $39/night upon license plate registration

Breakfast was good & the room was excellent only thing which was disappointing was the mattress as it was too soft and it felt like you were in a sink hole. My wife ended up sleeping on the couch. Wouldn’t hurt to drop the cost of parking. Overall we were very happy.
