Small room, basic but clean, with decent shower. They somehow only managed to book me in for 1 night even though my reservation was for 4, a fact I only discovered when the cleaning staff came to change the room and were surprised that I was still there! Didn't have the breakfast, but the free coffee in the lobby was a plus.
It is a interesting building, quite big, so that it is easy to get lost looking for your room on each floor. Nice finishing materials and quite small but comfortable rooms with private bathroom.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was excellent with a great range of choices of breakfast food. The freely available water, tea and coffee was great.
Unfortunately, myself and several of my travelling companions experience problems with plug sockets that did not work and sometimes no WiFi was available.

Expensive
Expensive for what it was.
Would be OK if the priced matched the room but it didn't, was expensive for what it was.
No remote for TV, got remote but tv still didn't work. Bedside light didn't work and cleanliness issues.
Room smaller than a standard uk prisoner cell. Can't begin to describe how small. Again if priced matched that would be OK but it didn't l luckily I was only on a short layover.
This hotel is great for a cheaper hotel option. Rooms are on the smaller side but the room was clean and the bathroom modern and tidy. Great location. Close to all the tour pick up/drop off locations. Overall a great stay for the price.
Excellent location, comfortable room and bathroom, delicious breakfast, very friendly breakfast staff. But the reception staff was very bad. Not at all friendly or helpful, they seem tired and without any interest in their work. A shame, because it is a very good hotel.
Pros: Location was 1 street behind main shopping street and around 5mins walk to nearest bus stops. Room was clean with heating, although windows allowed cold air to pass through. My friend found it cold but I thought it was ok under the duvet. Basic amenities included (towels, hair dryer, shampoo body wash). Staff was friendly and accommodating (we had to ask for new hair dryer and top-up of shampoo). Cons: room would be small for extended stay, but was ok for 3 days. If you visit in winter, please get shoes with ice grip! Many people were slipping everywhere. I had to take long detours just to avoid icy sidewalks.

First of all the hotel staff location etc are absolutely fine however you can’t get over the elephant in the room or more to the point the size of the rooms. The phrase you couldn’t swing a cat in here was made for this hotel the rooms are tiny. There’s no where to put your clothes to we ended up living out of the suitcase and using a floordrobe. You have climb over your partner to get out of bed and there are literally no facilities in the room at all. As I said the hotels fine but be prepared to spend your trip in what seems like a prison cell.

"Double-Room" was extremely small. Even for just 2 people.
Travelocity photos do not adequately demonstrate what a terribly small room the "double room" actually is. It was VERY small and tight. Access to the bed from one side. Very hard to get in and out of the bed on the inside spot.
Stay was fine, but note there is no laundry facilities despite being listed as an amenity on hotels.com

Good location but very small, uncomfortable and basic facilities. The whole hotel could do with an upgrade. Multiple issues in the bathroom and general ventilation too.
This was a one night stay until our other hotel, on the docks, was available the next day. It's a great little hotel for all the basics - the beds were comfortable, breakfast was good, water was hot and everything was clean. The location is really good and just a few minutes walk to the docks (but not the water and mountain view I was looking for). The room is small and for a couple you wouldn't really spend time in it rather than sleeping, because of its size, but there is a communal room downstairs with large TV and tea/coffee is always available there as well.
The hotel has a good location, very near to relevant places if you're going as tourist. The bed is quite small for two people but it's good enough to spend couple of nights there
