5.6/10

I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, right by the harbor and within walking distance of shops and eateries, the room was in a pretty rough state with a few maintenance issues. The staff provided helpful service, especially at the bar, but the overall dining experience was lacking. I appreciated the reduced rate after the incident, but the room really didn't feel worth the price I paid.

Rooms

5.0

The room was quite dated and had noticeable wear and tear, including a large hole poorly patched up in the main bedroom. It left me feeling uneasy, especially after finding a plate of cocaine in a cupboard. While it was disappointing, they offered a small discount of $50 off the bill.

Service

The staff was not particularly welcoming, but I did have a great experience with the bar attendant, who was helpful and provided great local recommendations. It seemed like they could have used more staff during busy times, like breakfast.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is absolutely brilliant, and the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.

The hotel is situated in a prime location, right on the river and easy to access all the main attractions. The room was spacious and perfect for my family, although it was starting to show its age.
