The hotel appears to have been recently renovated — it's clean, and the staff are responsive and friendly. However, the breakfast restaurant feels more like a motel-level setup, despite being quite expensive. The surrounding area is desolate, with empty buildings and even a railway running nearby. That said, it's a good choice for travelers who simply want a quiet and clean place to stay.

Great location and great amenities, but the level of service just wasn’t on par with the price except for Ali in the spa. He gives a superb haircut and shave.

The lounge is comfortable and spacious. The rooms are large, quiet and exceptionally maintained. If you like to work out, the resort has a great gym. I encountered friendly, professional staff throughout the resort especially the valet, in room dining, spa and restaurant staff.

Comfortable lobby lounge area. Accommodating staff . Location is terrific. Easy access to the new wharf area with wonderful restaurants. And across the street for Starbucks because the only downside is the expensive buffet breakfast which is quite ordinary.
