Excellent Hotel, highly recommended!
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Laura was great. We received a very nice upgrade. Nice, fresh hotel, very clean. Great breakfast buffet + many a la carte options to choose from.
Great location by the port. Very convenient with a grocery store next door. We had a wonderful stay!

Cons:

Only a minor thing. It would have been nice to have a couple of hooks in the hallway to hang your jackets on.

Óptimo para uma noite. Experiência boa.
Pros:

O quarto tinha uma vista fabulosa.
Tinha aluns pontos com humidade mas é normal com atmosfera.
A cama tinha alguns ruídos, mas nada de transcendente.
A banheira era óptima mas não adequada para pessoas idosas.
O pequeno almoço era excelente.
Os funcionários muito simpáticos.

Cons:

Os pontes negativos era apenas a banheira não adequada para idosos.
Os pontos de humidade.
Para um hotel de 4 estrelas
Será a melhorar.

Pros:

We absolutely loved the hotel and ended up extending our stay for two more days. Everything was perfect — especially the front desk staff, who were incredibly helpful, kind, and professional. I really wish I had taken their names to thank them personally. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The only small note is that the breakfast could use more variety, but overall it was still fine. As an experience, I truly enjoyed it and would definitely consider coming back again.
