champagne welcome breakfast option prime location attentive staff

The team welcomed me with a glass of champagne. Breakfast offered numerous options and tasted great. The location is perfect for walking to nearby restaurants and the waterfront. The staff was always ready to meet my needs, even preparing breakfast and coffee for early departures, REALLY!!!

The room lacked ample workspace for belongings. i could hear the bathroom drainage every time someone flushed, and it was quite loud.

Staff remembered my preferences for breakfast and drinks. On my last evening, the hotel provided a complimentary bottle of Cap Classique because it was close to my birthday, which i considered a thoughtful touch. They certainly was very good.

Acceptable Stay, but Issues Existed

black mold bleach scent

The staff provided good service. They paid attention to our needs.

I found black mold at the base of the face basin. It surrounded the entire fixture. The toilet also smelled quite bad each time I entered the room. The bed sheets did not smell fresh. They had a thick bleach scent. Some light switches had food stains.
