Great resort, great location, very clean and within walking distance to the Waterfront Pier area. Room and bathroom in the Tower are definitely on the smaller side. Wardrobe space is almost non existent. Gym really needs some new equipment and repair - foot strap on rower for example. Was good to see they had ISO wipes and towels. The roof top bar was also nice to go up to. Would stay here again.
