Hotel staff at the reception were extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was clean, beds comfortable. Only complaint was no smart tv options like netflix. However, we could still mirror from my phone. Breakfast was enjoyable. Really good location to the city and the waterfront. Overall, it was an extremely restful stay for us. Hope to back again.
