Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was great overall. The room was fully equipped with all the essentials I needed, but unfortunately, the building works caused disruptions. The service was outstanding, and the location was superb, offering easy access to all amenities. However, the dining experience fell short of my expectations. Despite that, the facilities were well-maintained, making my stay enjoyable.
The hotel is superbly located, just across the street from the Midway museum, making it convenient for exploring the waterfront area and close to downtown. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, fully equipped with amenities like a safe, coffee machine, and TV with cable channels. The dining options are good but slightly expensive, and the overall value for money is great.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the rooms were comfortable, some with sea views and pool views overlooking the bay, but my stay was disrupted by ongoing building works. The service was good with room service and housekeeping available, but I found the location a bit crowded with children and a bit out of town. The dining options were not as good as expected, though some dishes were delicious.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like convenient amenities and friendly staff but is hindered by disruptive building works. The room comes equipped with essential items like a safe, toiletries, and a coffee machine, but the stay was affected by ongoing construction disturbances.
The hotel had comfortable and spacious rooms with a great view down to the street level. The modern decor, great comfort, and friendly staff added to the overall positive experience. However, the dining options were a bit expensive and forgettable.
