    The beds were far too firm. The towels were dirty, and there was a domestic incident during our stay. The turnover service was minimal.

    Can’t say anything, it was as close to perfect as you can get!!! :D

    The renovations were very nice, a lot of thought went into little extras that lost hotels don’t have, little extra touches. The pillows were amazing, and they had lots - whic is rare in hotels, the beds were clean and comfortable , I got a great sleep - which I never usually do!! There was a portable air conditioner in the bedroom and two fans in the main area that kept it cool. Semi private little decks outside with a chair and little box of flowers, a little elegant metal vanity in the bathroom with soaps and shampoos set on with a facecloth fanned out behind them, extra large towels on the clothes rack outside the bathroom (what hotel ever provides extra towels) it had a huge shower head so the shower was fantastic! This was way nicer than many 5 star hotels. So clean and refreshing. We were on foot, and it is located in walking distance to restaurants and amenities. Overall 5 star rating from me, I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back!!!

    The location is sketchy. On busy road and no fencing for privacy and security. Couldn't open window in bathroom due to someone smoking right outside! That's the only venting for bathroom! The room was very dated but the new flooring and furniture makes a nice improvement. Unfortunately the second room had no a/c and floor fan was not working and very hot at night. Fridge was leaking had to use towels to mop.

    Close to ferry terminal. Garden looked nice but not accessible.

    Noisy TV and music through the walls until late. Thin walls. Hard to get around from parking to room. No place to take the dog to go to the bathroom.

    Porch to sit on. Nice yellow paint colour in the room.

    *Noisy - heavy traffic and tenants on balconies. *I am 5'3".The bed was more than hip height and firm. I had to pull over the sitting chair to help get up on it; still challenging. *No A/C. *Floor blackened my feet!

    Pleasant decor. Fridge and microwave. Lovely garden courtyard down below. Some units (not mine) had balconies with outdoor furniture.
