Stayed here for one night prior to a cruise. The staff was very friendly, rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel is nicely located and although the weather wasn't the best for views, what we did see was also very nice.

The food is fabulous (!!), the view is better and the staff is first rate. In particular, it was fun to see that the staff enjoyed each other AND enjoyed meeting our needs. Everyone, from the bellman to the busboy to the staff in the gift shop were cordial, accommodating and friendly. Fantastic place and I hope to visit again... More

We stayed here to pamper ourselves in their suite. The furniture in the room except the bed was so uncomfortable we felt like we were sitting on a bench at the bus station.

This place is amazing! it's expensive and not necessarily worth it to stay there if you're trying to stick to a budget, but the restaurants, decor, and old world feel are worth experiencing whether you stay or not.
