Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the early check-in option offered despite arriving before the official time. The room, although well-equipped with up-to-date amenities, unfortunately had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The hotel is convenient to harbor activities and offers various dining options nearby, but there is room for improvement in living up to a luxury standard.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, right next to the harbor with easy access to restaurants and shops. The dining experience, although delicious, had some minor issues. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were big, spacious, and had beautiful furnishings with windows around two sides, making them really nice, spacious, and comfy. The service was exceptional from the valet to the staff at Lava Dining, who were polite and helpful, ensuring a warm welcome and fantastic experience. The location was perfect for exploring the city and nearby restaurants, though a bit out on a limb. The dining was delicious overall, despite some chaos during peak times.

The hotel offers fantastic rooms with very comfortable beds, but there was a slight delay in room servicing. The service was impeccable, especially the valet team and super nice breakfast staff. The location is excellent for harbor activities and dining options, although facing a building could be a downside. The dining experience was delightful in the cafe overlooking the harbor. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
