underwhelming ritz stay
noisy evening drilling sound
The meat restaurant provided an excellent meal. That part was acceptable
I was excited, but the evening was noisy. i could hear music coming from other hotels across the waterfront and it was hard to sleep. I complained four times on saturday but it continued on sunday. the hotel should work on the noise levels.
