The hotel wasn't very private with other apartments being able to see directly into both the living and bedroom spaces. It was expensive for what we got and not very clean, with mold growing between the glass and bath, grout on the floor being disgusting, and marks on walls and ceiling. On the bright side, having a dryer, washing machine, and iron was convenient.

The hotel has a nice vibe in the rooms, cozy and comfortable, but could benefit from an update. Unfortunately, there is no outdoor pool for those who enjoy a swim without sand. The service was superb, with friendly staff and complimentary treats. The location is perfect, offering a beautiful view but struggling to cool a bottle of water. Dining was excellent in terms of value for money, but unavailable at 7 am.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, while nicely furnished, could benefit from better soundproofing as noise from the outside could be quite disruptive. The kitchen lacked a few essential items like large bowls and a working potato peeler. The service was a mix of accommodating and dismissive attitudes, with friendly staff during check-in and out but some reluctance towards room change requests. The location was convenient for accessing Glenelg shopping areas but was marred by loud street noise on lower levels. The dining experience was hit or miss, with slow breakfast service and somewhat tired restaurant appearance. However, the facilities were good overall.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a great size lounge room, sofa, table and chairs, work desk, huge TV, and a balcony overlooking the ocean. However, there was a hiccup with room allocation upon arrival. The location was fantastic with beautiful beach views but could use more attention to detail. Dining was described as nice but not cheap, offering generous-sized meals overlooking the ocean. Overall, the facilities were well-received.

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and within walking distance of restaurants.
