Spacious and well presented rooms

positive:
Popular location near sightseeing
The location of this hotel is perhaps one of the property's most frequently noted highlights. Guests have loved the waterfront setting and often pass comment about the wide selection of shops, restaurants, and sightseeing opportunities that are within easy reach of the property.
positive:
Decent selection of on-site facilities

Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast could be improved
Feedback about the breakfast is a little mixed. While some guests have been impressed and referred to the spread as a continental 'plus', others have felt that the price of the rooms warranted something a little more lavish than a self-serve buffet.
negative:
Some noise concerns in harbour view rooms
The views from the harbour side rooms are undoubtedly lovely but guests do tend to find that these rooms come with extra noise. For some, it was a small price to pay for the views. For others, the noise levels were far too high.
negative:
Regular issues with the elevator
Feedback for this hotel indicates that there are fairly regular problems with the elevator breaking down. If it happens during your stay, you could be facing a walk up several flights of stairs every time you head to your room.
