A Gem on the Esplanade
esplanade locationwell-appointed roommood lightingawkward key
The location is unbeatable. I walked right out onto the esplanade.. it was wonderful. The king room urban master was well-appointed. I enjoyed the in-room espresso every morning and made full use of the mood lighting.
The small wooden key was awkward. It was tough to manage at locked doors. I hope they can find a more practical solution.

lovely stay at a central hotel
convenient locationcomfortable bedgreat varietyslight mismatch
i found the location really convenient to everything. the hotel is close to restaurants, the lagoon, and the marina. we found our king room sea view very quiet because it had good windows, and it was quite spacious.. the bed was comfortable. breakfast offered a lot of variety and the views of the sea were amazing.
i expected a bit more for the price we paid. i found that some photos online did not exactly match the hotel's actual appearance. we had some trouble finding the pool towels when we wanted them.

The hotel has restaurants. I appreciated the room size. It felt quite spacious. Staff members were prompt. They were courteous. I especially liked the hotel's proximity to the city center. Walking to alternative restaurants was easy.
My room was slightly overpriced. It was a small room but the sea views were good, still the cost per night was high.
