Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a constant small kitchen vent smell, but they were nicely decorated and had three single beds with great toiletries included. The service, led by the manager, was excellent, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and a welcome drink. The location was superb, right by the Spanish Arch area on Quay St, but the hotel was located on a nightclub, which caused some noise disturbances. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the included seafood options, and the facilities were good overall.

The service is top-notch, especially with a manager always available. The price is reasonable, and the facilities are satisfactory.
