Our deluxe room (a corner room overlooking the harbour) was dated and had ants crawling in the bathroom. Otherwise the room was clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast which was $22.00 each was a buffet. Parking was free. Location of the hotel is excellent with lots of restaurants nearby.

My wife and I enjoyed everything about our stay. The room was great, the food was great with large portions. The breakfast buffet was exceptional. Dinner menu was 5 star. We got to have a nice long chat with the executive chef, he is a true master at what he does. The whole staff at the hotel were phenomenal.

All of the carpets smell and should be replaced. Staff were excellent. Especially the ladies working the breakfast area. Food was ok. Parking is way too expensive and should be included in the price of the room.
We had a balcony with view of the igloo type domes. The property looked abandoned and uninviting.
