Highly recommended. Good services, free underground parking, complete amenities in one location. The room layout is excellent; shower, toilet, vanity, and bathtub are separate. It feels like a 5-star hotel room. Value for money.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very professional and helpful. The room was spacious, had a nice view of the water, and the hotel is next to a gas station which was convenient. The pool had some shady spots to relax, and the gym offered an array of cardio and weight options. We didn't spend time in the restaurants but room service was delicious and the bar was quite large with pool tables. We would stay there again if we return to the area.

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times. I love the size of the room, the amenities, and the shower and bathroom setup. The staff always performs well when I'm ordering room service or just requesting bottled water. I also love the sports bar and restaurants they have in the hotel. The TV system is very nice because you can order right from the TV remote and food is on the way. The gym is nice with plenty of equipment. I will stay here again.
