Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and comfy, and the service was great. The location was perfect for those traveling on the ferry, and the dining experience was good. The hotel facilities were well-kept, though some decor was dated.
I found the hotel perfectly located for those traveling on the ferry, right on the water, and in a high traffic area for tourists. The rooms, although impeccably clean and comfortable, were a bit outdated during my stay. The dining experience was hit or miss, with competent waitresses but slow service and mediocre food. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money with a few areas needing improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the Newfoundland ferry, making it perfect for people traveling on the ferry. The rooms are adequately sized and equipped, but might be a bit small to comfortably fit two double beds with limited space for bags. Despite some minor inconveniences in the room, the value for money is reasonable.
I found the hotel to be a convenient choice, especially for ferry travelers. The rooms were comfortable and clean, albeit with some dated decor. The service was satisfactory, and the location near the ferry docks suited our needs well. The facilities met our basic requirements, though the noise level in the rooms could be improved.
I was pleasantly surprised by the respect and comfort threaded throughout the rooms during my stay. However, there was a lingering smell of stale smoke, hinting at a bygone era when smoking was allowed inside the building. The hotel offers good value for what you get.
