I thought the location was really good! the airport express shuttle stopped right outside. the breakfast buffet included a barista bar and an egg station, i really appreciated this. i also had dinner at the hotel restaurant, roast, and i loved it. It was very high quality.
The hotel was good overall, though i thought the superior room i booked did not have the view as promised. There was a freighter docked that blocked it.

The location provided easy access to many restaurants and local attractions.
The room cleanliness was SUBSTANDARD. I found a sock left by previous guests, implying cleaning standards were low. The uncovered parking felt expensive given the cost.
