Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's helpful and friendly staff, as well as its convenient location near key attractions and highways. However, many reviews highlighted issues with cleanliness in rooms and bathrooms, with several guests mentioning musty odors, bugs, and maintenance problems. The pool was frequently criticized for being out of service or in poor condition. While some guests found the beds comfortable, others noted discomfort or outdated bedding. Overall, service and location were the main positives, but cleanliness and amenities like the pool need improvement.

Anonymous, Aug 2016
Pros (+) While not in the heart of town, it was reasonably close- especially to the Star Line docks. The room was clean, the beds comfortable. The indoor pool was well maintained. A hot breakfast was included every morning.
Cons (-) The room was a little small. The distance from the central part of town was a little awkward- a bit far to walk, too close to justify driving. Nothing major, however.
