7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had much nicer decor, a fantastic shower, and comfy beds, but the curtains were not to my taste and darker curtains would be great. The in-room wifi was missing, but the communal wifi at the corridor was convenient, although I would have preferred in-room wifi even at an extra cost.

6.8/10

The hotel rooms were a little on the cool side, but big and comfy. Despite some cold dampness and old-fashioned decor, the evening entertainment was diverse with raffles, bingo, and live music. The meals were adequate but nothing extraordinary.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were big and comfy, slightly cool but acceptable. The decor felt outdated with some dampness, yet overall, it was okay. Evening entertainment options added to the stay.

Service

6.0

The service was friendly, happy, and helpful, although at times large and a bit unprofessional. The housekeeping was decent and met expectations.

Location

8.0

The hotel was located near the seafront, which was excellent for the Nature Valley international tennis tournament. However, there were some noise disturbances during the night that affected the overall experience.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience started strong with a choice of breakfast options but seemed to decline in quality as the week progressed. The meals were decent but not consistently good.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were small but comfortable. However, there were some issues with the neighboring room's shower proximity and signs of dampness in certain areas. The restaurant area had a cozy ambiance.
