Really good Service and Great Location
attentive staffdirect accesswater taxislight odor
I found the staff quite attentive and helpful. They promptly addressed any requests I made. The hotel is directly connected to Festival City Mall, made shopping and dining very convenient. I easily accessed a water taxi near the hotel to visit other parts of the city. The view of the water from my room was a great treat.
I did notice that some areas in the hallway had a slight odor, possibly due to ongoing maintenance.
