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.

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 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.

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with the hotel's location, close to the waterfront and surrounded by restaurants, although the overall look was a bit outdated.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.
