Had a very comfortable stay. Room was very clean. Shampoo and body wash scent was pleasant and an added bonus. Was just a short distance walk to wharf. Staff was courteous. Tried ordering room service but was not available but we ordered from restaurant and picked up. Will consider staying here again. Very nice hotel.
