Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: business

Positive: The initial rooms look good, the location is suitable to someone with-out transport. All amenities are easily accessible. This includes gyms, good restaurants, good coffee shops, sports bars, grocery stores and the beach. Probably the cheapest accomodation in the area. Bed and facilitaties in the room were decent.

Negative: The place was a maze, each addition to the facilities was built on more shabby than the last. The initial rooms looked great and would be worth the price I paid for my particular room, which was decent, but maybe a bit over-priced considering. There was a kettle but no milk, no sugar, no coffee or tea. A fridge that was running but not even a bottle of cooled tap water inside. This was a decent option for a single over-night stay, but not something I would recommend for group or family stays.
