It’s a quaint hotel. May not be a resort style hotel but you feel comfy living there. It’s unpretentious. Room is fairly spacious too. Aaaaaah … even at the 14th floor, the shower’s water pressure is almost like a firehose! That’s just so good.

Great location. Foor was subpar, better to just walk out and dine in the restaurants nearby. Rooms were average, clean but surprisingly slightly dated for a relatively new hotel. Staff are very business like and do not exude warmth. Overall 3 out of 5 for me
