Summary: Was a nice stay at this property, a bit pricey for not having an operating hot tub which we were looking for. As well as the property is going through construction and at very early in morning it sounded like a drill was going to come through the wall or ceiling. Ah well, was the 1st time in the region and thats what we focused on.
Rodney Sep 9, 2025 12:38:39 AM
Summary: Very nice hotel with a very nice room overlooking the harbour. Convenient to lots of restaurants although we have breakfast included which has been good.
Kristen Aug 27, 2025 02:45:06 AM
Summary: Good: Spacious rooms with comfortable beds and pillows. Nice view. Food in restaurant was excellent. We would definitely go back Not perfect; Check in was very slow. Guest in front of me was waiting 10 minutes while the desk clerk was doing something on the computer. Then he helped the guest. By that time there was a line up behind me
Wade Aug 10, 2025 09:00:55 AM
Summary: The parking was horrendous. Most nights I don't think I was even in a parking spot and then at check out you charge for parking unbelievable. Also the coffee shop on the first floor we went in our first day the service and the food were terrible we never went back.

Summary: Hotel needs a desparate update. Hallways smell, wallpaper in room peeling, beat up entertainment center. Just really outdated. They are in process of renovating but not fast enough.

Summary: The place was clean, beds are comfortable, breakfast is good, air conditioning not so easy to control, so the room is kind of humid all the time. Towels don’t dry… Service is good Guest laundry service is ok, only one washer and one dryer.

Luvleen Jun 22, 2025 10:08:29 PM
Summary: Property was under renovation, slightly noisy. No microwaves in rooms difficult with kids as you would have to go down to lobby to warm up food. Laundry facility was down. Had to tell front desk to top up towels for the pool. You get what you pay for. Great location and friendly staff.
