Pros:

Clean and comfortable

Cons:

Room was more motel than hotel. Dark room with minimal windows and quite depressing. Tried to use the toaster and the power went out/ shorted out the power. Entrance to the room was in a delivery zone with ice machines and no parking other than the street. Overall very underwhelming considering it’s on the bay overlooking the waterfront.

Comfortable and convenient with helpful staff.
Pros:

Friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

Trying to fill the jug at the hand basin was impossible because of the low set spout and height of jug.I used the shower rose which was hand held.

A terrible experience :(
Pros:

The cost of the accommodation was good for the 3 of us

Cons:

Upon check in I was given a voucher for the bistro. 10% off drinks and food. I thought oh that’s nice! Was told could only use it Sunday night even though we were staying Sunday and Monday night. Thought that was a bit odd.
We ordered dinner and drinks and used the voucher. Upon checking the receipt I find a 10% discount applied then a 10% surcharge for Sundays. So no discount at all! The meals were terrible. 2 x roast porks and a chicken schnitzel. The roast potatoes were green, 2 slivers of the toughest driest pork we’ve ever had. Very disappointing experience.
I booked a room with a view to have a view of the Reject Shop. Disappointing again!

Pros:

Room as such quite big and well-equipped. Good mattress.
Discount on meal in hotel bistro, nice steak and vegetable

Cons:

The otherwise very good impression is compromised by the condition of the small balcony, dirty and full of bird sh., even on the window
