Solo buena ubicación.
Pros:

Lo único destacable del hotel es su ubicación.
El joven que me recibió a mi llegada fue bastante atento y cordial.

Cons:

Cuando llegué la tv estaba desconfiguarada, tardaron varios minutos hasta solucionar el inconveniente.
El olor del baño bastante desagradable, si bien aparentaba limpieza habían un olor a desagüe muy fuerte.
Al final de la tarde cuando regresé al hotel, ingrese a la recepción para dirigirme a mi habitación y la chica que estaba en la recepción me hizo regresar y me preguntó "que a donde iba" le dije "Soy huésped del hotel". En este último comentario, puedo acotar que fue lo más desagradable del hotel, ya que la forma de expresarse de esta señorita no es la correcta. Además, como parte de las funciones de un recepcionista es revisar los nuevos ingresos de huéspedes y chequeo de documentos de identidad, justamente para evitar este tipo de situaciones.

Room for improvement
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Not so clean. Room had not been entirely swept, they don't take out the trash daily, breakfast was ok and they seem to be understaffed at times.

Opinion
Pros:

Lo cercano que estaba del aeropuerto y el tamaño de las habitaciones

Cons:

El baño no tenía una buena ventilación por lo tanto se acumulaban los malos olores
Te dicen que te incluyen el desayuno,pero por motivos ajenos a ellos había escasez de huevos,pero lo mismo te deben de dar otras alternativas y también en cuestion del horario del desayuno se me hace que es muy poco el tiempo en el que está disponible solo de 7 a9 y muy temprano.

Très bel et bon emplacement et vue sur mer exceptionnelle.
Pros:

Très bien placé face à l'embarcadère, tout près des otaries. Vue sur mer fabuleuse

Cons:

Petit déjeuner trop tardif pour les départs en excursions et panier repas de remplacement vraiment nul (une pomme, une petite brique de jus et deux tranches de pain de mie)

Pros:

Directly at the port with a great seaview and in the quiet area of the esplanade (so no taxis in front of the window). And also a very nice place to have breakfast. Lovely place to stay!
