Jättebra hotell

Jättefint hotell med kanonbra läge nära Fishermans Wharf och flertalet restauranger. Stora rum med bekväma sängar. Rent och snyggt. En fantastisk frukostbuffé! Parkering på 60 dollar/dygn är dock absurt dyrt.

Lovely stay

I was pleasantly surprised by thus hotel. It is very unassuming yet the serviceis great. We would warn that the bathroom in our King room was TINY. You have to squeeze around the door just to close it. The bathtub was tiny and had an uneven floor. These were our main complaints. Our room faced the drive and was in main level but it was very quiet. Would ask for better coffee options in rooms or perhaps teaM
