My One-Bedroom Apartment was very spacious. It featured a washing machine and dryer. I also had clean linen provided daily. The view from the balcony was interesting and quiet.
The continental breakfast seemed somewhat limited for the price. There could have been more variety. It felt quite basic.

The hotel is approximately a 10-minute walk to the waterfront area. This area offers a great selection of restaurants. I found the immediate surroundings quiet, with minimal traffic or airplane noise contributing to a peaceful atmosphere.

The apartment on Level 23 provided amazing views. It was compact, yet it included very good amenities. The staff were hospitable and cute. I appreciated the room upgrade on my second stay.
The bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom sink leaked. The kitchen tap was very loose and wobbly.
