Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the views from the balconies of the adjacent rooms were fantastic, the rooms themselves were extremely dated and old. The service was a bit hit-and-miss, with some helpful staff but also instances of unresponsiveness. The location suited us well, though being next to a fish processing factory was a downside. The dining didn't live up to expectations, and the facilities were average.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and had a fantastic view, with a highly comfortable bed and wonderful pillows. The small spa bath was a lovely surprise, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. However, being located next to a busy main road and a factory at the rear did take away from the tranquility outside the room in the morning.
The room was clean and comfortable with most amenities needed, although it felt cold upon returning from our concert. The price of $189 seemed excessive for the room received compared to expectations.
The hotel offers a great location close to restaurants and the airport. The rooms were decent but had some issues with getting wet while showering. The staff was very friendly and helpful despite some noise from the bar. The dining options were limited, and additional charges applied even for water. Overall, a convenient stay with mixed experiences.
The hotel offers spacious and adequate rooms but may not be ideal for young families. The service was very helpful, especially during Christmas, though the room showed signs of wear and tear. The location was handy to various amenities, but additional fees were a drawback. The dining experience was good overall. The facilities are worth noting, albeit some areas needing improvement.
