The hotel room wasn't what I booked, ended up in a disability room at $500 per night, felt a bit cramped like a dog's kennel but surprisingly comfortable with a clever layout. The extra lounge area and sink were very convenient perks.

Rooms

The room was comfortable, if a little small, but cleverly laid out with additional lounge space and a handy sink.

Service

The service was friendly, but lacked information on available amenities like purchasing beverages at night. However, the staff went above and beyond in helping me find late-night dining options, showcasing excellent service.

Location

The location was good, close to Sunshine Plaza shopping center and walking distance to restaurants and the beach. However, there were some issues with staff attitudes that would prevent me from returning. Still superb for its proximity to dining and food supplies.

Dining

The dining experience offered nice coffee, but could use more variety in fruit, croissants, muffins, and poached eggs. The bonus was adequate but lacking diversity.

The hotel had basic facilities, nothing exceptional but satisfactory for a short stay.

The hotel was close to the Sunshine Plaza shopping center, making it very convenient for dropping off luggage. It's within walking distance to restaurants, the shopping center, and the beach, providing a great location. The rooms were not what we booked, unfortunately, as we were given a disability room instead, and the bathroom tap needed replacement. The price of $500 per night seemed high for the amenities provided.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the Sunshine Plaza shopping centre, making it a great choice for easy access to dining and shopping. The rooms offer extra amenities like a lounge area and a sink, although the inconvenience of having to shuttle gear back and forth to a car parked two blocks away could be tiresome at times.
