All good to great. Will always be back with them. (P.S : My car got a fresh scratch during the valet return, and hence curious what happened. Was it the basement parking?)

Great location and friendly staff but rooms could do with a stylish refurbishment to do the location justice. Rooms and bathrooms are getting very tired and who wants to boil water in an old plastic kettle. A few extras such as a coffee machine or even a shower cap would not hurt. Great view though on harbour side.

I think the pool should be heated so you can use it all year. Decor has not been updated since the hotel was built so looking a bit tired. Otherwise the room was spacious and everything else was fine.
