Ár érték arányban nem érte meg. Túl drága volt.
Pros:

A szállás közel volt a központhoz. A reggeli finom volt.

Cons:

Az előre lefoglalt és kifizetett 2 szoba helyett 1 szobát akartak adni először. Szólni kellett, a második szobáért. A szoba kulcsot nem aktiválva kaptuk meg, vissza kellett menni a portára emiatt. A szobák ablaka szürke belső falakra nézett és nem az öbölre. Felújítás volt a szállodában, ami kicsit zavaró volt.

Impossible to Sleep - Train Noise and Lack of Communication
Pros:

Stayed in early Feb '26 and cannot recommend this hotel if you want sleep. The hotel is adjacent to a train crossing, and the alarms/warning systems blared all night long, even with windows sealed tight.
To make it worse, I discovered by chance a white noise machine hidden behind the TV that was never mentioned by staff at check-in. If they know the noise is this bad, they should immediately inform guests about the noise-canceling measures. Disappointing.

Breakfast was excellent. Lots of options and healthy ones as well. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathroom well stocked with shampoos and other products. Front desk staff were very helpful. Snack options available for purchase throughout the day by the front desk. Location was very good. A two minute walk to the waterfront or little Italy.

Cons:

Main door access was limited to cars key only which made checking in difficult a we didn’t have a key!
