4/10 Poor

"Noisy air exhaust fan in bathroom Aircon also noisey on low setting Room 201 is outdated and tired Smelt musty. Heavy condensation on windows and bed is immediately next too the window. Can feel the cold condensation. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience in #201 sorry to say. I’ve stayed at the hotel twice before, however I believe on those occasions the rooms were in the new wing which I’ve blocked the pool. On this occasion the room was in the older part of the hotel."

10/10 Excellent

"What a cute place to stay. The staff were great and even offered us a floor level room, which is great because they don't have an elevator. The room was smaller but came with a kitchen. The area is a little scary at night. Also if you hear a loud noise and the room shakes a little it's the helicopter going to the hospital across the street. Enjoyed our stay. "
