Poor Night Stay
Hotel is under renovation. Should have been disclosed when booking. No parking at the hotel. Parked car three blocks away on city street. Room was dirty. Found food wraps and food on carpet. Bathroom fixture was broke. Last straw, room included breakfast. Tried to order coffee. They said instant coffee included, we had to pay for brewed coffee.

Not great
Let me start by saying the food is lovely and the staff very friendly and most helpful and the room itself on first glance clean and lovely bearing in mind it was a superior suite it should be . Very clean and comfortable bed HOWEVER, there was a continuous constant droning noise in the room mostly above the bed . On asking reception about it we were told it was the fans from the kitchen and they would be turned off at 9pm. Found this weird as we were on the top floor but there it was. NO it continued through r the night droning on and on the kind of noise that gets inside your head!!! And to top it all below us we had a guest that from 2am was wailing constantly until 8am not the fault of the hotel I know but the other was so all in all the worst nights sleep I have ever had would probably have been better off in one of the other rooms so until they get that noise sorted out DONT book the Tara suite

Great view of the port and vessels. Receptionist (Erin), manager (Killian), and waitress (Fionna) were helpful, personable, and interesting. They made the stay as memorable as the location. Food was good. Location is a gateway to a fascinating area.

Lovely short stay hotel
We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room had a wonderful view right over the harbour - we even spotted an otter in the water! There is a fairly busy road right outside but with the window closed, we barely even noticed any noise. All staff were friendly and helpful, and everywhere was very clean. I would recommend a stay here!

Decor of the room was a bit out dated and 1990-ish but the room was clean and the staff were great! Food was ok - but the servers and bar tenders where amazing. Good location too.

Good hotel,very clean, Only thing that was a dissapointing was the service in the restaurant very very slow for dinner service and breakfast service was slow and on more than one occassion we had either been forgotten about or give wrong breakfast and it wasnt because it was busy.

Nice hotel which is currently being remodeled and updated. Room was nice, hallways a bit musty. In July our room was too warm and the windows only open 2”! Hard to cool it down. We asked for a fan but it barely worked. Would have been great if windows opened. Everything was clean and breakfast was wonderful.

We enjoyed this hotel. Though there is not specific parking lot for the hotel there is a good lot across the street or you can park on the street. It is all free. There are some nice dining options. We were even able to take a boat tour from the town which was excellent.

Undisclosed to us at the time we made the reservation in January, the property is in the middle of a major renovation. The construction work started before 8:00am each morning and lasted into the evening. It was very noisy and we were constantly having to walk around ladders and various equipment. The staff was apologetic, but certainly not enough to offer us a discount on our room because of the inconvenience. There was also NO hotel parking, as what appeared to be a parking lot, was also under construction. We had to find a place to park on the street near the hotel every night. In addition, the bed was not very comfortable. They did, however, offer a good hot breakfast with plenty of coffee. The staff was nice and helpful. As I pointed out upon leaving, this project should have been completed long before the start of the peak tourist season. My advice is to stay away until they’ve completed the project.
