The main foyer and the staff were very nice. Staff were also very helpful and they stored our luggage when we first got there quite early in the morning and after we checked out. The room was clean, but needs some updating. The bath amenities are right above the toilet. Make sure you close the lid before touching them or they might fall in.

The room, and the Hotel at large, were spotless. The buffet breakfasts were delicious ---- hot/cold as appropriate. The bar serves dinner Thurs - Sat. Exceptionally good and reasonably priced food. We were at the Hotel 6 nights. It is located in the area known as The Rocks --- lots of restaurants and shopping around. It was a 5-minute walk to our cruise ship. We heartily recommend this Hotel.
