Two Queen Beds Waterfront View
Stayed 1 night in August 2024

Decent hotel that needs some improvements”

Overall, the hotel was alright - however, there are some things they badly need to improve: 1) Room we stayed needed some reno. Peeling wallpaper with visible scratches, dusty and dirty windows, dinted furniture. The beds were luckily clean and comfy though. 2) Customer service at the front desk was subpar. First, the clerk became excessively aggressive when I pointed that I booked harbourfront room and started arguing that the room is per their discretion. But I actually booked "waterfront" room, so instead of arguing, he could politely tell me that it's a waterfront but not harbourfront. Not sure what was the difference as I could see boats stationed in the cove. 3) The room keys didn't work at all. We tried it for few minutes, nothing worked. I returned to the front desk and the clerk instead of addressing it immediately, made me do another run back and forth just to get the same result. This is unacceptable attitude. When the manager stepped in, the issue was resolve the issue to some satisfaction. Despite the negative experience, I must say that the breakfast in restaurant exceeded our expectation and was excellent.

Long waiting time for breakfast ”

The staff were nice but I was surprised with 1 hour waiting time to have my breakfast! The waterfront restaurant was so busy in thanksgiving day and I spent half an hour in the line and another half an hour waiting to have the breakfast.
