Bedroom was good and staff were helpful. Towels were very soft which was quite impressive. Location is pretty good with a petrol station next door with a very handy express mart. Shopping malls, beaches and Waterside all within walking distance. I would stay in here again.

Disliked: Staff & service
The property team were not very hospitable. The front door says the office is open until 7.30pm. When we arrived at 7.15pm there was no one present. I called the number and they did come and assist but were not very forthcoming. However, given that I have a US mobile it was an international call, i'm not sure how other international visitors who may or may not have international dialing/roaming would contact them. The next day we asked for beach towels so we could go for a swim (the motel is a block from the beach). We were told there were none. I asked if we could use the towels from the room and they told me "yes but they cannot touch the sand". So I can use a pool towel for the beach but can't get sand on it, so I can't put it on the ground. I asked for extra towels and was told they didn't have any. These people need to learn the definition of "hospitality".
