We had a shaky start to our vacation due to missing luggage, a very late check-in, and the rooms we booked not being available. However, Ricardo and Alan went above and beyond to make sure our luggage was picked up and we had great rooms! Love them! Would definitely stay here again!

We picked this hotel due to location to the Waterfront - it was a good choice just 5 mins walk from the Waterfront. Hotel breakfast was good - staff professional. Rooms a bit tired and could do with a refurb.
