I had everything I needed in the room - it was clean, had a comfortable bed, nice shower, and a good working area with a nice roller chair. The service surprised me when I arrived; they are so understanding and meet guests' needs. The location was perfect for my special event training, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The dining experience was a bit simple and not satisfactory for a long stay. The facilities were adequate for the price I paid.

The hotel has very big, clean, and well-structured rooms that are quite big and comfortable, but not as clean as expected. The plumbing problem with water from the sink flowing into the bathroom floor was a downside. The service was a mix of rudeness and surprise friendliness. The location was brilliant, very close to the beach and key city spots. The dining experience had some positive and negative aspects. The facilities were generally adequate.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a few ups and downs. The rooms were exceptionally clean, but having to turn on the air conditioning every hour made sleeping a bit challenging. The service was excellent, with very friendly and efficient staff, yet there was a small hiccup with handling vouchers. The location was great, not far from the beach and entertainment spots, although communication with reception could be improved. The dining experience was really excellent, offering delicious tapas. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The amazing location right near the beach and city center was a definite highlight. The rooms, though a bit stuffy and not soundproof, were not as clean as I would have liked. The service was a mix of rudeness and friendliness. The dining offered a good spread but could use some improvement. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and stadium, offering a great spot for cricket fans. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the need to constantly turn on the shower every hour was a slight inconvenience. The service was friendly overall, although some staff members were impolite when dealing with vouchers. The location is perfect for sports enthusiasts and beach lovers, with easy access to the stadium and city center. Dining options were a bit simple, especially during breakfast, and the smell in the conference room was off-putting.
