Welcoming hotel

Reception team were welcoming and friendly. Reception area was clean and relaxing. Valet parking was helpful Our room walks seemed thin and easy to hear ' neighbours' talking and we were unlucky that they decided to use the outside space to loudly and only moved when I asked at 0015 to be quiet! Great location for seafront and harbour and the shops!!

Great location

Great location and an excellent on site restaurant. Knocked it down one star because the bathroom door handle was broken and the room was quite small, but otherwise a great stay.

Small rooms

The hospital and attention was outstanding.Great location down State Street But the room we selected was a little bit too small we had to squeeze around the king size bed and for the garden view you get the picture A little over priced for the holidays for the size of room

I loved waking up early and riding one of the complementary bikes along the beach. The common areas are cozy and comfy. The art displays and interior design gave off the chillest vibe.

Arrived and there was no working AC in the room. No fridge in the room. Staff was friendly though and provides a fan. The next morning there was no hot water in several of the rooms. The floors are all hard in the hallway and the rooms so sound bounces around easily and a door closing easily wakes you up in the middle of the night. The location is good except for a train intersection less than 50ft from the building so if you want to sleep in good luck. I will reiterate that the staff is very friendly and accommodating. There’s some nice perks in the lobby but I don’t think it balances the experience in the rooms.
