Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying its waterfront location with lovely views and a cool breeze. The rooms were comfortable although not very large, offering a great balance of simplicity and coziness. The service was excellent, with the staff being extremely helpful. The dining experience was delightful, especially the delicious regional breakfast. The hotel's facilities added to the overall positive experience, making it a good value for the money.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and had its own dock front balcony with rocking chairs, a sofa, and picture windows overlooking the waterfront. The location was ideal with lovely views and a cool breeze, and the dining experience was delicious. However, there were some issues with service, especially regarding safety measures. Despite that, I enjoyed my time there overall.
