Historic Charm and Cruise Convenience

cruise proximityhistoric buildinghelpful stafffew outlets

The hotel is conveniently located next to the cruise terminal. The building preserves history and has been renovated well. The staff was very helpful. I enjoyed the very good restaurant food.

The room had very few outlets. Even the lights were unplugged to use the one available. There also was no refrigerator (so do not buy anything requiring cooling).

Location

10/10

The hotel is situated in an excellent location surrounded by water. It provides good views of the city. This place is also very quiet, a plus for a relaxing stay (I certainly valued it).
