Decent Hotel Experience
marina locationcomfy sofatea selectionhot roomshower temperatureparking fee
The location RIGHT on the marina was fantastic. Plenty of eateries were nearby, VERY convenient. My room had a comfy sofa. I found plenty of tea and coffee for my three-night stay.
My room was too hot, even after I turned the radiator off. I did not want the window open due to the passing noise. The shower water would turn cold after a few minutes.

I am frustrated. The minibar was EMPTY upon arrival. I mean, what kind of hotel doesn't stock the minibar? That was not what I paid for, certainly.

A Mixed Experience. Some Issues Noted
tired roompoor lighting
The room looked somewhat worn. The bathroom could use improvements. Some of the shower lighting was non-functional. It was a noticeable issue. The included breakfast proved disappointing considering the price. The limited portions did not justify the cost.
