"Moved from The Grand Jordan so obviously was not expecting same standard but market down for property being well maintained as in the room several things had been tapped up where damaged and the carpet in the lifts had come up and taped down. A lot of it was just cosmetic which is why I thought just soft it properly. Not the hotel fault but note if you book through Expedia there is an important info section that highlights additional charges for both Gym and Infinity pool and normal pool and a fee for each separately. Otherwise can’t knock the location and does the job and good for the price albeit separate charges for services."

"I stayed at the ocean view with one of my children. The hotel is in a fantastic location and it's right next to the beach. It is a reasonable walk to the subway station and very easy to find and get to. Check in was quick and easy. The front desk employee was always pleasant and easy to work with. I saw him at various times of the day and night so he must keep long hours but still keeps a positive, client friendly, attitude. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. I would definitely recommend and would stay there again."

10/10 Excellent
"The only downside to the hotel is that there is a similarly named hotel in the building next to it so we got lost trying to check in (and saw others do the same during the same). The hotel itself is clean, modern, and comfy. We got a room with a balcony which was a great choice with a great view, though you have to be careful because the crows are massive! Anything that we needed, the staff helped us out. The cleaning staff, too, were also very attentive. Rooms are a bit on the smaller side if you've got big luggage, but I think you can see that from the pictures. The room itself is comfy, the bathroom is spacious and updated. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again."
