bay room helpful staff short walk

I secured a bay room. The view was amazing. everything was clean. It smelled great (i especially liked the lobby scent). all the staff were very helpful. The parking was great, just a short walk to shops. the kids loved the pool. I think they spent most of their time there.

The absence of included breakfast was a letdown. A full breakfast costs extra. i had to find a cafe nearby.

Wonderful Accommodation Near the Waterfront

waterfront harbour helpful staff lovely bar

I found this location excellent to explore the city. It is directly opposite the waterfront harbour. A ten-minute walk takes you to the Salamanca Markets. Parking was easy, and the staff was helpful. The hotel features a lovely foyer bar area and a restaurant downstairs (which i visited a few times).

The check-in process took an excessive amount of time upon my arrival.

Rooms

My room included a spacious layout with a king-size bed. It provided ample space to relax and unwind after a long day. The room offered harbor views (which i enjoyed). The provided amenities were well kept and fully functional.

The check-in process took too long. Staff indicated they would call when the room was ready but failed to do so. I returned to the counter after an hour and the room was suddenly available. I suspect it had been ready for some time, the staff didn't bother to call. Disappointing.
