See no sea
I paid extra for a sea view. I booked this hotel 8 months before travelling. Once we arrived we were told oh sorry we have had to put you all the way down there out of the way in the small room? We are juat fully booked. Got to the room, which was indeed very separate from the rest of the rooms in the hotel, it was quite small but comfortable but there was no sea view. I was very upset since I had paid extra for that luxury. I felt cheated. The sea view rooms you see when booking the room is not what I got at all.

The room was incredibly small we could barely walk around the bed to get to the bathroom, there was very little room for suitcases as there was only 1 bench for a single suitcase. The ocean view was of the parking lot, the road and then the ocean so their pics on line are very deceiving. Very expensive by Canadian standards. The pool closed by 9pm so we didnt get to use it.

The hotel was good, but the only problem I had is that the staff at the restaurant, made us stand and wait for quite a while, as they cleaned up tables. There were lots of other tables that we could of sat at, but we had to wait and wait. Probably for about 5 minutes, which seemed a long time. The waitress wasn't very nice. But we did notice another head waitress which was very nice to the new staff.

So many great things about this hotel
Great hotel in a stunning location with even more stunning views. Lovely pool and breakfast looking over the sea was spectacular. Bathroom was new and rooms nice, but its an older hotel so parts of it were a bit shabby. Great staff, entertainment, pool area were fab!

Although our De-lux room was a bit dark and unwelcoming; it was well appointed and adjacent to residents seaview lounge area. However; top marks to both Expedia & Bay Hotel for their speedy and very reasonable consideration ie refund- due to health issue resulting in early return home.

My husband said the meal we had at high tea was the best food he has ever ate in his life! I would agree the food at dinner and breakfast was exceptional. Staff so friendly and helpful. Only issue was the air conditioner system and the bed wasnt very comfy. Minor though and we had an excellent stay. Cant wait to come back!

Not worth the cost
Rooms are cramped so little space for 2 suitcases. The pool was closed. The view was nice but not great . The beds have coil springs which you feel and they are noisy

I politely let them know we were unsatisfied both during the stay and in an email afterwards. No actions were taken at all. They say ‘thank you for raising this”. Really loud music going on when we arrived and until past 11pm. We were very close to the noise though they said that if we didn’t attend the celebration they have a policy of assigning us a room far from the noise. Did not happen. They strongly advised we book a table for breakfast so as to get any food at all. The latest possible time for it was 8:30am. Almost completely empty restaurant even after 9:30 am so we were really not sure why they made us wake up early on our holiday. Restaurant closed early in the evening, we ordered Chinese which was the only option. The ceiling panels in the spa are almost falling down. The steam room was out of order. The gym requires an additional payment, no note on that on their website. Definitely not worth the steep price. Never going back. The receptionist was great though, booked us a taxi driver that took extra care that we would be at the train station on time.

We chose this hotel for its location for a family matter we needed to take care of. On approaching the hotel, the views across the firth were amazing!! The online check in completed a day before meant we had minimal to do at reception, with staff member being really helpful and explained that the swimming pool, gym and games area were included in the price, and xould be used as often as we liked and positively encouraged us to use it. The food served for breakfast and evening meal was fantastic. The choices for the evenings were not overwhelming so it was very easy to select something. The hotel room was very clean, super large bed and very good shower. I was so happy with this choice and would happily stay there again.
