The interior design is nice, rooms are clean with comfortable beds. They're also conveniently located near the pier in the city centre. At the reception, you can get a coupon for free coffee and a discount at their café.

“A stylish and comfortable stay in a great location, with a few missing amenities and practical drawbacks”
The hotel had lovely décor and was conveniently located close to the harbour. The bed was very comfortable, and the large shower with quality shampoo and body wash was a nice touch. The room also included a hairdryer, and the noise-cancelling machine was appreciated given how noisy both the hotel and surrounding area could be. Free parking was available, which was useful.

“Location is prime. Right downtown. the water. However, you have to take the good with the bad.”
The room appeared quite spacious in the ad but was much smaller. I would have liked to have a table but there was not enough room.

“Sadly not a great experience”
I liked the area the hotel was in. I liked the room vibe and that the building had character and was older.

“Average hotel. Great location, not the place for a reliable sleep.”
Location is great, very close to all amenities. Room size was adequate, and bathroom was pretty good. Staff were good to have changed our room after the first night. If you're going into it knowing it's at best a three star hotel where you're likely to have some disturbed sleep then you'll probably be alright.
