    It didn't fall down in the earthquake. Staff responded calmly and efficiently to all the earthquake drama.

    Limited food choices nearby and having to get to town and back by taxi. Not sure if hotel is on the bus route? Bit inconvenient because only 1 all-purpose soap dispenser in shower area and none for sink area.

    Nearby esplanade is a good place for walking and enjoying sea view. Laundromat is 3 min away, very convenient. Also night market is 15-20 min walk away. Free snacks in dining hall and water dispenser on each floor. Also, good that hotel is environmentally friendly.

    Everything looks perfect. There is a small balcony in our room. Breakfast is simple but ok. Limited space for carpark. The hotel looks Clean and the beds are comfy. Value for money.

    More vegetarian options at breakfast would have been nice - there was meat in a lot of the dishes. The reflective film on the balcony windows makes it a little akward to see outside, as does the angle the window opens at. I know that's not really something that can be changed, but the window opens towards the intersection, rather than towards the park and ocean. Also, there's no hand soap. The only soap available is the multi-purpose liquid soap/shampoo mounted in the shower. There was some renovation happening in the building, which I wasn't notified of. Luckily I woke up just before it began anyway!

    Very spacious, and very good soundproofing. I didn't hear the traffic noise at all. Easy to find parking in the area. The staff were helpful in pointing out where to park. Breakfast hours were good for me, and I thought the hotel is well-located between the main city area and the outer edge of town.

    The so-called balcony is actually part of the building's exterior, with lights controlled by the hotel rather than controlled by the guest. It's really not part of the room's facilities. Not really an issue, just a point of clarification.

    The receptionist was friendly and always willing to help. Breakfast was good and Parking was close to the hotel. Room is spacious.

    1) On the booking website, it says the property provides free bike riders to tourist attractions (within 3 hours), but when I arrived the hotel, and was told the offer is no longer there. 2) In the hotel lobby, there is a leaflet about the hotel, it says the hotel provides free shuttle service to/from the airport and train station, but after checking with the receptionist, was told it is only available if you made the booking direct with the hotel

    The room size is good, and clean enough The breakfast buffet is good, lots varieties. There is a drinking machine located at each floor There are 24 hours free coffee/tea/snack available.

    They didn’t clean the room but just changed towels (didn’t even empty the bins) when we asked & left the key at the front desk. The location is a bit far from the restaurants, bars, night market etc. The staff hardly spoke English.

    The room: comfortable beds, good shower, and there’s a water dispenser in the hallway.

    The facility was a bit old, but the stay was still comfy and enjoyable.

    The place's location is great. We took a walk to the nearby park with a long beach front after check-in. Breakfast buffet was standard and did the job. Eateries and a laundromet were all within a few minute walk away and convenient. Parking was basically just around the building and fcfs, but we didn't have a problem. The room has a covered balcony that looked out to the sea. An open balcony would have been better for the view, but I guess street noise would have discounted that experience greatly.

    The balcony light is crazy bright and cannot be controlled or turned off - it automatically times out at 10:30. So weird.

    First of all, they have an automatic light on the porches that turns on at 5 and stays on until 10 so you can’t actually use the balcony as advertised because the light prohibits you from seeing any view. So don’t be fooled into booking a room with a balcony because it’s unusable. Also- a bar with view was advertised but there is no bar anymore even though there is even a sign for it. Also our room was never cleaned so we had to find a way to get rid of our own trash and scrounge in the hallway closets for new towels. Also the elevator broke and the very rude staff at the front desk didn’t care in the slightest that guests had to walk up ten flights of stairs. No soundproofing whatsoever and the breakfast was frankly inedible. Finally, there is a hallway light next to the bathroom that doesn’t turn off so you basically have to sleep all night with a light one in your room. This hotel really should lose a star or two- it’s barely functioning as a hotel.

    The shower was warm. The TV had a variety of good channels.

    It was disappointing that the balcony lights are automatically activated in the evening from 8 until 10:30. Not possible to enjoy the balcony without light in the evening to watch the sea.
