Wesley

United States, April 2024

7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, while relatively dark and sparse, did offer a comfortable queen bed, despite the obstructed view of the harbor. The service was top-notch, setting a standard of professionalism and friendliness. The location had its charm, although there were mixed feelings about the surroundings. Dining was a highlight with delicious food, especially overlooking the harbor, but some aspects fell short of expectations. The facilities provided were adequate but lacked the expected quality for the price.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of old-world charm and modern amenities. The rooms, although somewhat old style, offered breathtaking 270-degree views of the surrounding harbors and bays, decorated in a unique 'castle' theme. The service was exceptional, with enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The location, atop a hill overlooking the bay, provided a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle, and the dining experience was delightful, especially when enjoying the panoramic views from the restaurant.
