Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were fine and comfortable, with a convenient foldable shower glass screen. The UK’s traditional request for a small jug of milk with tea is not available here, unlike some hotels. The service was quick and efficient in fixing issues, although some staff interactions could be considered rude. The hotel boasts an excellent location, close to public transport and major attractions. Dining options were decent, but a bit unorganized at times. Overall, a good stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were decent in size with lots of natural light, making them cozy and perfect for three people to stay. However, the rooms appeared dark and in need of refurbishment. The service was commendable with courteous and very helpful staff who assisted me promptly. The location was excellent, close to the train station, China town, and various dining options, making it convenient for exploring the city. The dining experience was delightful, especially during Mardi Gras weekend. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the first room's bathroom was not up to standard. In peak times, the hotel was spacious and very clean, offering a comfortable environment. The service, though professional and top-notch at great rates, lacked a bit of warmth. The location was convenient, being close to public transport, but the surrounding area was quiet and mostly residential, which was enjoyable. The dining experience was great overall, especially at the Mana loft, however, there were some hit-and-miss moments. The facilities were decent, providing all the necessary amenities. Price and value for money were reasonable, but some aspects could be improved.
My weekend stay at the hotel was really nice. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it convenient for our activities. I loved the lovely pool area, but beware of the extra charge for simple amenities like milk. Overall, a good choice!
The hotel had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, with clean and spacious rooms, but it could have included a vanity kit.

The motel is an excellent choice with comfortable rooms and fantastic leisure facilities like pool/spa/sauna.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with the bed standing out as a highlight for my partner. However, there was an issue with the room entry that required us to switch to another room. The service was professional, and we appreciated the early check-in, but the unexpected surge pricing for transportation was a downside. The location was ideal for exploring the city, being close to public transport and major attractions. The dining experience was tasty, but there were difficulties with room delivery.
