I stay here a lot due to work, and I don t have a choice, it s where my company books is in. My latest trip has seen me stay here for 8 weeks straight, so I am in a good position to review this place
The rooms are average and and the doors are thin, nearly every weekend I have been woken throughout the night due to noisy people getting in late. Housekeeping is hit and miss, they sometimes forget to clean/ replace used cups and replenish water/ toiletries etc. The laundry service is a joke and you have to pay extra to get your clothes returned the same day. There is a laundromat with one washing machine and one drier, both will cost you $5 each. The gym is great, good balance of equipment and even fussy gym goers should be satisfied. The main restaurant is understaffed and I have walked out several times for not being attended to. The food is pretty average and on bbq nights, all the meat is frozen and doesn t cook real well. They also promise all you can eat salad and soup on bbq nights although they are seldom replenished. The atmosphere is good with the marina in the background although it is industrial beyond that. Upstairs on the deck is a nice bar but unfortunately you can only consume food from the Italian restaurant up there which is a shame if you don t like Italian food. The mess bar is good, with a pool table and a dart board although they only have two darts.
All in all, it s pretty average and has the potential to do a lot better.
