While the property was fine on the surface, sadly it's clear a lot of the revenue comes from the bars and outlets at the hotel. Music every night we were there continued until 2am and it was difficult to sleep as the patio door on our room didn't lock or close properly. There was also a storm which was pretty heavy, but in the morning, there was water on the floor and water damage on the wall too. It looks great, the staff are brilliant, but it's a challenge to sleep there. Inca, the restaurant at the top also gets pretty smokey whenever they cook, and windows have to be opened, and we got bitten a few times, so don't forget your mozzie spray. All in all, it's a good property, but just needs a bit of TLC and consideration for their guests who are trying to sleep.

A tourist’s dream come true. Love!
Beautiful rooms. Elevated Moxy vibes. All services at your fingertips via in-room television, including laundry service and concierge doctors. It is also worth noting that this establishment takes security quite seriously, from the exterior gate and security checkpoint to the sliding glass security doors separating elevators from guest rooms.
