"Somewhat dated hotel but great value in an excellent location"

7.0

Proximity to waterfront and downtown attractions, view from room of the harbour, good sleep, Bright room

Shower did not have a mixer—making it hard to coordinate hot and cold taps for the right temperature—and both taps were labeled “cold”! The rooftop balcony needs more comfy chairs—-perhaps loungers; maids’ supply closet down the hall from my room slammed loudly ever time someone opened it; no lights switch near the inside of my room’s door made it awkward to find light controls upon arriving; traffic noise from street and harbour made napping during the day impossible; hallways stuffy and smelly.

"Great location, overpriced, horrible parking"

4.0

Great location.

Little to no sound proofing. The people staying above me were extremely loud. On the day of my check out, staff told me my vehicle would be fine in the overflow parking for the afternoon but I received a parking ticket.

Perfect location, great and attentive members of staff, comfortable and very clean. Lovely coffee and tea in the room and good quality bath products.

Our room was rather small compared to the ones of other members of our party. Other than that no problem at all.

It was a nightmare and nothing was resolved. I was stuck sleeping in my vehicle that night.
