The staff were really nice too. We loved the Coral Room Bar. Our room was very comfortable and we had a fabulous sleep. The location of the hotel is in a prime spot. Breakfast in our room was delicious. It was a great way to start the day.

The bathroom was tiny. I could barely take a shower. The area around the hotel seemed dodgy. There is a seedy casino nearby. I feel like it attracts a bad crowd.
