Guests frequently mention the hotel's modern feel, often describing the rooms and lobby as recently renovated and sparkling clean. The harbour views are a definite highlight, especially from rooms facing the water, and many appreciate being within walking distance of the waterfront and downtown restaurants. Parking can be a concern for some, but the comfortable king-size beds and well-equipped rooms contribute to a pleasant stay.
