6.0/10

I must say, the hotel's location was fantastic, with its proximity to various facilities and restaurants. The rooms, however, were a bit of a letdown - old, small, and poorly lit, but at least they were comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. The service was a mixed bag of welcoming interactions and slightly unprofessional behavior. Here's my detailed experience:

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were very comfortable; we really only slept there. However, they were old and outdated, had a view of the back alley, and the balcony was very small compared to other hotels in the same vicinity. The rooms were very poorly lit, had cracks along the walls, and smelled somewhat damp.

Service

7.0

The staff were welcoming and helpful, but some were in the back room having personal conversations before attending to guests. Overall, they were friendly and efficient at reception.

Location

8.0

The location was very convenient - right near many of the town's facilities and restaurants, with good pedestrian access to the esplanade and water. However, it was a bit too loud and packed with kids, making it less comfortable to fully enjoy the surroundings.

Dining

5.0

Unfortunately, the dining experience was very disappointing.

Facilities

5.0

Maybe the value for money could have been better if more amenities were provided.

7.4/10

The hotel had spacious rooms, though a bit tired and in need of refurbishment, with a high price tag of $559 per night for the apartment. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond, even suggesting outside dining options. The location was ideal, close to the Greyhound bus stop and overlooking the water. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement but with excellent service and location.

7.0/10

The hotel has large, dated rooms showing signs of wear and tear, but they are spacious and quiet with a lovely view. Priced at $600 per night, the rooms lack a balcony and breakfast, giving a vibe from the '90s.

Rooms

The service at the hotel was great overall, except for one staff member who lacked friendliness and engagement during our interaction.

Location

The hotel's location is convenient, although the room's view could have been better if we were informed about higher-level rooms. It is close to shops, dining options, and a nearby shopping center.
