Really good Stay with Amazing Views
amazing decorfantastic locationunsafe door locks
The room was beautiful. The decor was AMAZING!!! It was spacious and spotlessly clean. The location on the Esplanade is fantastic. Plenty of parking is a plus.
I noticed the door locks are unsafe in an emergency. You can only lock and unlock with the key.

Mixed Feelings About the Stay
inadequate soundproofingmissing shelf
I found the allocated room less than satisfactory. Soundproofing looked inadequate. I could hear guests walking in the adjacent room quite distinctly. The shower lacked a grab handle, a safety concern. there was no dedicated shelf in the bathroom for personal toiletries. I had to resort to using the window ledge, inconvenient.
