First night the heating did not work. Inconsistence in room maintenance. Hot water was not hot on the first night. Request for an iron took ages to be complied with. House-keeping was inconsistent from one day to another. There was an attitude of complacency.

It met my hygiene standards, I’m fussy about cleanliness and they won my heart. The food in this place is exceptional. Compliments to the chef(s). My beau and I had an excellent time. Maintenance should step up. House keeping should also maintain a checklist of items so that they don’t forget to replenish items. Overall, it is a quality facility.

The staff were very friendly, helpful, kind and accommodating. The location was great - walking distance to the waterfront. The transport company working with the hotel provided excellent service at very affordable prices, their office is around the corner from the hotel!

We enjoyed our stay. We were there 3 nights. The beds were comfortable, clean rooms, Hotel restaurant had an amazing breakfast buffet and dinner was also good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and would prepare a to go breakfast for our early morning adventures. we felt safe going out and walking to the store or to the waterfront. We would stay there again.
