This hotel really does deserve its high rating on TA. We stayed here for two nights at the end of July and thought the hotel and staff were excellent. The location is perfect, close to the harbor, historical sights, restaurants, bars and shopping. It's a beautiful building with a must see viewing area on the top floor. The views are lovely. The hotel does have a bar, but when we popped in for a look there were only two people in there listening to a singer. It would gave been a very pleasant place for a drink but with being empty, it lacked a little atmosphere. Perhaps it was a slow night, but I'm guessing the lively bars close to the hotel are more popular. A shame. Saying that, there are many fun bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk - some very loud and full of college age kids, but the hotel was very quiet and serene. We stayed on the 10th floor and had an excellent night's sleep. Our room was 1004 which meant the bedroom had a harbor view and the living room a city view. I think rooms ending in 02 and 03 had the best harbor views and 05 only city views, but I'm sure the wonderful staff would advise you. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. I was using the pull out sofa bed, which I was not looking forward to ... But what a surprise! It was very comfortable and I slept well over the two nights. Wish I'd asked the make of the sofa bed. You can't go wrong staying at this hotel. I would definitely recommend it, and I would certainly return.
