The service was provided in a warm and unobtrusive style overall, with a small inconsistency during check-in. The location is very convenient with easy access to various restaurants on Florida road. The facilities are well-maintained and cater to guests' needs.

My stay at the hotel was delightful! The location was superb, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and in a safe area. The rooms were in excellent condition, with modern conveniences and even a balcony, although the floors were a bit crackling. The service, while warm and welcoming most of the time, had a slight hiccup with one staff member who lacked understanding of customer service.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location is superb, surrounded by great eateries and in a safe area. The rooms were in great condition, but the aircon was dripping and the floors crackled a bit. The service was a mixed bag, with a warm greeting upon check-in but a bit lacking in understanding customer needs. The facilities were top-notch, and the dining experience with the golden malted waffles was delightful.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The prime location near the beach and close to various restaurants made it so convenient. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The dining experience, however, lacked variety in breakfast options. The well-kept pool area added to the enjoyment of my stay, though the separate Wi-Fi payment was a bit of a letdown.
