Great hotel. The restaurant had a very less food options for vegetarians. The only thing available is Pizza. They should add a few more options.

Scenic Esplanade view, good breakfast
Spacious bright room and balcony overlooking the Esplanade. Safe quiet location. You can walk the 1.3 miles to the Reef Marina along the Esplanade which is very scenic and interesting. A little shorter distance to the main downtown restaurants. We also rented the Beam app scooters to ride around which was fun. The breakfast buffet has a wide variety of hot annd cold foods and quite good. Front desk service (Richard) was great

4/10 Fair

It has taken me a while to write this review, as we did not like our stay here at all. This hotel did not meet our expectations. On the night of arrival the electrics in our room died, so we had to be moved to a new room. The bathroom sink of the new room leaked for our entire stay. Everytime we had laundry done, we would have to send it back to be dried again, as they would always be returned wet. The food available for dinner was hit & miss, and was never made the same. The buffet breakfast was not very nice and the coffee was the same. The staff were always friendly, and helped where they could. Definitely not a hotel I would stay at again.
