modern rooms indoor pool ideal location

The indoor pool was a real highlight. It provided a perfect option for relaxation any time of the year. The rooms were clean and modern, (I found the spacious bathrooms especially appealing). The location is ideal because it is a short walk to the seaport area.

The breakfast buffet lacked variety.

The room was large and included an excellent bathroom. The location allowed convenient access. The bar was lively with friendly staff. It also had exemplary food.

The hotel lacked bathrobes and shoehorns in the rooms, and the lobby looked lackluster.

I found the room spacious with a classy bathroom. The location allowed easy walks to many sites. It was near the harbor so I could watch fireworks.

The furniture seemed a bit dinged up. The gym floor by the weights needed cleaning.
