“The waterfront location certainly has potential, but from what I've gathered, guests have been consistently underwhelmed by the condition of the rooms. Reports mention outdated interiors, maintenance issues, and cleanliness concerns, suggesting that the views might be the only reliably positive aspect of a stay here. Proceed with caution if you value comfort and upkeep over location alone.”
