I loved the Ocean view. But the parking area NEEDS to be cleaned up and better accessible. The parking across the street only had one narrow in and out opening and the grass was tall, gravel was uneven. If it is not your parking lot why direct me to park there? Other than that my stay was good.

Arrived Friday mid day -exterior and entrance of building very old and run down Asked about secure parking, "that was reserved for tenants who live here" Went up to our room. As we were there for a wedding, we needed to iron clothes. Ironing board, but no iron. Called the desk. And clerk said she would have one brought up. It was. We wanted a drink with ice. But there was no ice bucket. Another trip to the desk. Given a small ice bucket. Told not to drink the ice cubes, because of a "boil advisor" since Aug 6, it was now mid Sept. 1 small 500 ml bottle provided. We then went and purchased a $3 4l bottle. Asked for more coffee for the room and paper to go with the pen. The room was warm and stuffy, tried to find the AC. Was told none of the rooms has AC, however Was provided a fan for the room. We thought we'd like to watch TV. It had worked, then stopped. Possibly it was the batteries in the remote. But it wasn't. By then it was late at night and no one available to fix the TV. A new clerk, said she noticed we had had issues and offered to move us. That was so kind. Up to 7th floor with ocean view. It was spacious and appeared cleaner. Up in the morning, saying well at least the bed was clean. Went to make the bed and the comforter had stains on the top and bottom of the comforter. Went to have a shower, almost all dispensers were empty. Decided to go for breakfast , there was a live milipede on the plate for the serving spoon. 😞 SO MUCH WRONG HERE

The staff were really friendly and professional. The breakfasts were excellent and again the servers were excellent. The room was clean and adequate, bathroom catered to showers, but was good size. Bars of soap would be nice. The view of the harbour from our room was very nice and I appreciated that the hotel gave us the upgrade. We would stay there again

Book elsewhere if you have the option

First hotel room was absolutely disgusting. Unknown stains on chairs and bed plus a very noticeable crack on the window leading out to the balcony. Lucky for us the front desk lady was the nicest person ever and upgraded our room for free at no charge which was much better than our original room. None the less the rooms could have been much nicer for the amount your paying.
