6/10 Good

A bit underwhelming for price and rating
Nice place however the room had no fans or fresh air access and it was very warm and stuffy. Thermostat was off or at its lowest and still was very warm and uncomfortable even overnight. Buffet breakfast was not fabulous. Had to wait a while for hot food to be replenished a few times. Spa was nice outside and staff very friendly and accommodated an early check in, room upgrade and I was even able to borrow a charger as I forgot mine.

The hotel is nice and great view. Wasn’t pleased though when I found out that we had to pay $25-$30 per night for parking. But other than that we loved our stay there.

6/10 Good

The room was very quiet and the hotel's position is convenient to the waterfront and restaurants. However, it all looks a bit tired. The room's carpet was thin and the towels were as well - like something from a 1960s country motel. Also, there were just the basic free to air TV channels.
