Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location and comfort. The rooms were cozy and had a fantastic jacuzzi bathtub, although they weren't ready upon check-in. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there were instances of detachment. The location was perfect, near the harbor and with stunning views of the Trinity Inlet and Marlin Marina. The dining was mediocre with slow service, but the lobby and mondos were pleasant. The facilities were standard, nothing extraordinary.
The hotel offers good waterfront views but needs a fresh look. The staff is friendly and accommodating, although some service aspects can be improved.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and clean, with a great balcony view across the city to the mountains and sunset. However, some of the furniture looked dated, and the carpets were a bit dirty. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff throughout. The location was perfect, offering stunning ocean views and easy access to restaurants along the Esplanade. The dining experience was good, but they could use more staff to avoid chaos at busy times. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was spotless with a large balcony and jet spa bath tub. The air conditioning was great, although it would've been nice to have fans. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly staff always ready to assist. The location was perfect, close to the esplanade and a variety of restaurants. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall enjoyment of my stay.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms had a better view with light oceany colors and offered a lovely sight of the mountains and boats in the inlet. The cost was worth it considering the views.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered stunning esplanade views from the top floor balcony. Access to the executive lounge for bridal parties was a nice touch, providing breakfast, light meals, free wifi, and complimentary drinks. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The location couldn't be better, right next to the harbour with easy access to the city center. Though the price is higher, the value for money is evident in the fantastic amenities.
The hotel offers amazing views over the harbor with clean, modern decor in the rooms. Although there was a slight delay in receiving our luggage, the personal touch from Kat at reception, who offered a complimentary bottle of wine, was a nice gesture. The rooms are fairly standard but comfortable.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with great views overlooking the creek and Trinity Forest reserve from my room. The last-minute booking before 1 pm worked out perfectly, and I got the double room I requested. However, it was a bit on the smaller side, which may not be ideal for everyone.
I was pleased with the hotel's location, close to the waterfront and surrounded by restaurants, although the overall look was a bit outdated. The rooms had beautiful views of the mountains and river but were small. The service was outstanding and very helpful, yet the on-site dining left much to be desired in terms of food quality. Despite some shortcomings, I enjoyed my stay thanks to the great views and helpful staff.
The hotel offers a large room with a comfortable bed and all usual facilities for light refreshments, but the overall decor feels very 'tired' and could do with renovating. The oceanview is a nice touch, though there is a noticeable damp stench in the room.
