The room was large, modern and well maintained. We had a problem with the desk staffing as we were trying to check out early in the morning to catch the ferry. There’s a dearth of restaurants and bars in that area, so it’s unfortunate that the lounge isn’t more inviting.

Lovely hotel but small rooms lacking storage.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff & great service with a fantastic breakfast. Rooms (classic at least) are a little on the small side with no drawers to store clothes which is annoying for a weeks stay. Only a small a wardrobe though they did supply more hangers. Bose sound system didn't work in my room.

My husband and I travel and have traveled a lot for both business and for fun. I'm top tier Hilton and he is top tier Marriot - it takes a lot to impress us, and this hotel did that. Everything worked, food was amazing, service was great - there was honestly nothing we would have changed about it. That says a lot.
