Great time, air conditioning was extremely loud and a small table outside on balcony would have been nice. Pool could have been a bit warmer, but lovely property, clean rooms, friendly staff, great harbour view and close to everything downtown. Would recommend.

Washrooms dated. They need upgrading with walk in showers. Location is excellent and staff services great. Expensive parking while many hotels offer free parking. Somewhat expensive for overall quality of hotel but location on water and in middle of city compensate somewhat for high price.of room.
