Just ok
The room is dated, room was clean. Samore from cleaning staff, did a good job cleaning the room prior to our stay. However, the water from the tub was leaking on to the bathroom floor (not ideal for a bath, you could get by showering if you are not staying for long) and toilet seat was wobbly. The room had a balcony with carpet, which was nice. We have stayed at other hotels in the city, this one was not our favorite.

The ground floor rooms that open up straight onto the beach are amazing! The giant tub is definitely big enough for two people. It's within walking distance of hours of entertainment.
