Had an air conditioner but never got a comfortable temp. We had to switch between being hot and venting the window because the area was so loud at night it would wake us up.

I liked the dining options, however, the housekeeping didn’t change my sheets throughout my 4 day stay. They only laid the bed with the same makeup-stained sheets I already had. Also, I noticed a food stain like a tomato sauce on the chair in my room upon arrival. Please pay more attention to deep cleaning.

Bad location for peaceful stay

Location at first would seem ideal until you actually need to get to sleep and the bars nearby don’t stop pumping out loud music until 3am on a mid week night. Handy free parking.

Great Hotel

Everything good. Staff very nice, friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely with a great view. Location of the hotel was great being only a short walk to the harbour side and all bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
