lovely bayside stay!

easy accesshelpful staffconvenient breakfast
The location provided easy access to nearby attractions. i found the staff helpful with directions and recommendations. the inclusion of a continental breakfast offered a convenient start to each day. It included coffee and pastries.
the room service menu had limited options, though there were restaurants nearby.
Rooms
8/10
the room had blackout curtains that ensured good sleep. the space was ample and offered a pleasant view of the adjacent park. it featured a comfortable bed and ample storage, though, the mattress was a bit cheap.
Service
9/10
the front desk staff were efficient during check-in. staff secured my bags safely before check-in. the restaurant staff worked hard to rectify some small service issues, though, the service was a bit slow.
Location
10/10
the hotel is next to the wharf, so it is easy to access ferries for sightseeing. the sea front position is on the park. nearby stores and cafes provide additional convenience, though, the parking was expensive!
