i found the location superb, within easy walking distance of the harbour districts. the staff demonstrated very nice dedication, showing many smiling faces, also nothing seemed like too much trouble. i especially liked the free minibar as it helped to create a cute atmosphere upon arrival.

my only concern involved patrons affected by drugs and alcohol creating disturbances late at night. there was a concerning level of noise and chaos, difficult to feel safe, it caused considerable anxiety .

I was excited about the hotel, but i left feeling a bit let down. the mini bar was no longer complimentary. It was replaced with something called the 'wonderbar'. i found the concept unclear and not as generous as before. also, the coffee machine in my room still had used pods from the previous guest and the toilet had a noticeable urine smell. it was disappointing.
