the service was great! i was expecting them to have water facilities (i.e pool or hot tub) so that was a bit disappointing
the breakfast was great, although have extra waffle batter out would be helpful!
clean rooms, great staff and great location
overall i would come back again

The hotel is located on the north side of Victoria Island. It takes only 5 minutes to drive to the beautiful small city of Sidney after getting off the ferry. The surrounding restaurants and supermarkets are well-equipped. You can walk to the beach for a meal in a few minutes. It is suitable for a leisurely vacation.
There are plenty of parking spaces, and the staff are mostly white. They are enthusiastic but not rushed. Coffee, hot chocolate, fruit, cookies, and lemonade are placed in an orderly manner. After entering the store, you feel like you are back home.
The facilities are of the standard of old Western hotels. They are not luxurious, but neat and clean.
