What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Comfortable

I had a wonderful stay in a 1-bedroom suite that exceeded my expectations. It was massive, providing ample space to move around and sort our luggage. The angled roof and cozy fireplace gave the room a unique charm, making it feel even more inviting. I loved that the suite had two full bathrooms, which was very convenient. Even though the decor felt a bit dated, it was clean and comfortable. My room situation created a perfect 'ahhhhh' moment after days of travel.

Satisfying Breakfast Experience

During my stay, I enjoyed breakfast served in the temporary lounge. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety available, which included hot items like eggs and bacon along with the usual continental offerings. The room was small but comfortable, and the staff made sure everything was replenished promptly. I particularly liked the poached eggs with tomato sauce, which added a nice twist to the usual spread. It was an excellent way to start the day!

Relaxing Spa Treatments

Before heading out on my travels, I treated myself to treatments at the Interlude Spa. It was absolutely blissful! The staff were incredibly talented and passionate about their work. I had a relaxing massage and facial that left me feeling rejuvenated. The spa itself was beautifully designed, completing a perfect downtime after a busy day exploring. This was definitely a highlight of my stay.

Convenient Parking Options

I appreciated the convenience of the indoor self-parking at the hotel. It was reasonably priced at about $25 per night and had in-and-out privileges, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. I found the parking facility to be secure and accessible, which gave me peace of mind during my stay. It definitely enhanced my overall experience.

The hotel boasts an incredible location right by the harbor, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The check-in experience left a lot to be desired, though; I faced a frustrating wait that diminished my initial excitement. The view from my room was lovely, but I found the amenities to be lacking, especially for the price. Despite the challenges, I appreciated the efforts of one staff member, who showed some empathy during a tough situation.

6.0/10

I had high hopes for this hotel since I've stayed here before, but this time was quite disappointing. While the location is superb, right by the waterfront and near numerous dining options, the ongoing construction really detracted from my stay. The room itself was decent but lacked some modern touches, and the service left much to be desired, especially with the cleanliness issues I encountered. Overall, I'd suggest caution when booking, especially during renovations.
