Good hotel, cold breakfast
Mostly great stay although as with most places, buffet breakfast was cold and had been there ages. Hot holding doesn’t seem to be a priority.

Good hotel with easy access to Gunwharf quays and the historic dockyard. Room was perfect for us and very clean. Bathroom a little small but I guess due to type of room.

Wonderful stay
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The receptionist was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make my visit comfortable. They even offered me a free late check-out, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The service was top-notch, and I truly appreciated the warm and accommodating attitude of the staff. Highly recommend staying here!
