The hotel is well located- comfortable large rooms with a great view of the water and the boats. Check in at 4 pm and luggage store meant you could get out and about. Breakfast is like a zoo- there is a huge amount of food to choose from, but no plates, no tables to sit down and so it takes a while. Getting a drink in the bar is difficult. Nice staff when you see them- just not enough of them.

The staff were very friendly and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The hotel has a good location, unfortunately you have to cope with the ship's noise. We were last time in the other side of the hotel and there you heard it less! The new cleaning system is good for the environment and the hotel, unfortunately the customer does not benefit from this system because the prices are not reduced

Checked into a room that had another persons hair in the bed and toiletries in the shower. I went to the front desk and requested the room be cleaned. A few hours later returned to hotel and room had not been cleaned. I spoke with the front desk and manager who stated they would send up housekeeping. Half of my stay was spent in a room that was not properly cleaned. I should have checked in across the street after the first request for housekeeping was not completed.
