I like that it a short 30min. walk to most attraction. The music to the 8th floor pool area is loud during the day, but after 8pm, they lower the volume. The staff was helpful and nice

We loved our stay. The property is lovely, and the staff was kind and attentive. The spa is very nice, and we both greatly enjoyed our thorough, professional massages. Our room did not get cleaned every day, which is fine, but it seems that if you’re in your room the first time housekeeping makes an attempt, that they don’t come back. My only real complaint is that the mattress was hard as a rock. But the stay was wonderful overall and I would definitely come back (and see if I can get a softer bed).

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is very old. The facilities are old and relatively unkempt. The staff told me that I was lucky that I still had my room, cuz I arrived at around 2am, and that their system would close at 2:45. But on Expedia, it says that their hotel’s check in ends at 5:30am. When I was using the electric kettle to make tea, the power of the entire room went out, and I had to be moved to a different room. The front desk did give me a voucher for one free drink at their bar. Overall, definitely one of the not-so-pleasant experiences, but nothing obscenely intolerable. The breakfast is average, but for the price it’s not bad.

The hotel lost its LGBTQ status and became more of a straight hotel that is gay friendly. Lots of straight couples in the spa, women as well. If you are a gay guy looking for a cruise hotel (as advertised) this is not the case anymore. Note: avoid any room near the elevators, they are old and noisy.

The room (2nd floor) we were given had an old, mouldy smell. The walls are also very dirty and unpleasant. My partner and I decided to check out immediately. Though the area is convenient, I would not recommend until they improve.
