Staff was amazing. The room is small but doable. The shower/bathroom needs some detail cleaning. Could use some bleach or Tylex. I didnt want to step in the shower without my flipflops. Visible mold throughout. Otherwise, I had an enjoyable stay.

Lackluster hospitality

We have stayed here in the past and have been really pleased. This trip was different than others, however. The hospitality was lacking. Our coffee maker was broken and a fuse blew in our room when the alarm clock got jostled. We let the staff know and it fell on deaf ears. No resolution. No cares. The valet guy was the kindest if all.

The hotel was pretty walkable to a lot of things. The location is great. The rooms are very small but nicely decorated. I got a room with an outdoor patio which was very nice. I initially got a room with the a/c not working (and they knew about it because there was a fan in there instead) and didn’t say anything to us until we complained and asked for another room, Which they had available. Wish they would had just put us in that room to begin with. But besides that whole ordeal. The staff was nice about it and the stay was great.

Welcoming hotel

Reception team were welcoming and friendly. Reception area was clean and relaxing. Valet parking was helpful Our room walks seemed thin and easy to hear ' neighbours' talking and we were unlucky that they decided to use the outside space to loudly and only moved when I asked at 0015 to be quiet! Great location for seafront and harbour and the shops!!

Small rooms

The hospital and attention was outstanding.Great location down State Street But the room we selected was a little bit too small we had to squeeze around the king size bed and for the garden view you get the picture A little over priced for the holidays for the size of room
