This was the best hotel we stayed in during our 2-week holiday in the Maritimes.
Pros:

What a beautiful hotel to stay in! Our room was HUGE and the views of the sea, bay, boardwalk and sunset were amazing. Great service. Friendly staff. Great food in the restaurant. All very clean. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.

Pros:

The location was gorgeous - on the water. Enjoyed the sunset over the water. It was close to walking trails. The rooftop patio was also a nice place to visit.

Good except for the tough, over done “prime rib” the worst prime rib I have ever had in multiple life.
Pros:

Lovely room and nicely decorated. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

The restaurant was highly recommended. The menu was impressive. BIG mistake ordering the special of the night. Prime rib. We asked if it was served medium rare and pink and were reassured it was. It came grey and overcooked. I said to the waitress it is over cooked and not medium rare. She said to cut into it that it would be pink inside. It wasn’t. I returned it and said it was over cooked and well done grey when you cut into it. She took it back. Then a gentleman came over and said they were sorry that it was definitely over cooked and they were bringing a new serving to me. It came still grey, a light pink but not medium rare. It was tough, difficult to cut the meat and basically inedible. I ate a bit of it but couldn’t bear the toughness. A total waste, totally disgusting and waste of money. Such a disappointment. I should have had the haddock I had decided on in our room!!!!

Comfortable and convenient accommodation for a short business or leisure stay in Sydney
Pros:

Check-in, car parking, and suite size all fine and view over the harbour very pleasant. Breakfast options and value good.

Cons:

The sink was basically in the bedroom, not in the bathroom, a very unattractive feature in a hotel of this standard.

Good for a one or two night stop, handy for ferry terminal.
Pros:

Junior suite, plenty of room. Good view over the harbour. Comfy bed. Staff all very pleasant. We ate in the restaurant one night, good meal and very chatty hostess/server.

Cons:

Room was slightly “clinical” - bare floors, grey walls,floors and furnishing.
