My husband didn't like the cold temperatue of the room. We had it set on 80⁰F but it was still cold. We couldn't even turn it off.

Staying good, but payment feeling not good
Pros:

It is better to start breakfast at 6:00am, not 6:30am because we want to go Ferry terminal by driving the car around 6:30am and no time to get breakfast which included in our booking.

Cons:

When I booked the room from Booking.com platform , the HST-room is 15%, but when I paied on site the HST-room is 15.53%. Also, the city fee ( MAT tax) I paid on site is higher than what I got from Booking platform. I don't know why ?

Great view, room was fantastic.
The beds where very comfortable

Pros:

Nice view over the harbor. Good location near many restaurants.

Cons:

The lines to get breakfast in the hotel were really long both days and the coffee in the lobby was out both days. They seemed very short staffed...
