The hotel had some surprises, like the room mix-up, but overall offered a pleasant stay with fantastic bathroom amenities. However, the service was a bit overworked, though the staff remained professional and friendly. The location was a welcome escape for the evening but had some limitations in space. The dining experience offered delicious made-to-order meals.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and very nice, but being on a main road made it a bit noisy at times, and there were homeless persons near the hotel. On the positive side, the rooms had a small refrigerator, which was convenient.

The service was wonderful, with the staff being attentive and helpful, although it was clear they were overworked. The location was decent, although the limited space was a downside. The dining experience was good, with delicious options, but it seemed a bit understaffed at times. The facilities were modern and clean, adding to the overall comfort of the stay.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a comfortable four-poster bed, a cozy gas fireplace, and a great view of Victorian style homes and a marina. However, the noise from the kitchen below was quite bothersome. The service was outstanding, especially from Justin who greeted us warmly. The location was convenient, within walking distance to local bistros and shops. The dining experience had its ups and downs with some fresh offerings but room for improvement on the breakfast options. Overall, a pleasant experience with some minor hiccups.

Staying at this hotel felt like joining a warm and welcoming family in a cozy room with a mix of pros and cons. The room was hot and suffered from hotel and street noise but was well-equipped with a comfy poster bed, a gas fireplace, large screen TV, jetted tub in the bathroom, bathrobes, and a great view of Victorian homes and a Marina.
