I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with a breathtaking view of the channel and Boldt Castle. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated in a nautical theme, making it very inviting. I appreciated the convenient access to shops and restaurants nearby, along with the bonus of free parking and great Wi-Fi. The only downside was the cleanliness of the balcony, which could use some attention. Overall, I would certainly consider staying here again for its beauty and comfort.

This hotel is right on the water, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are recently remodeled, very comfortable, and feature fantastic views, especially if you're lucky enough to have a Boldt Castle view. While there's a lovely pool, it wasn't open during our stay. The only downside was the limited parking and the occasional noise from the boat tours below. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay, especially for those wanting to be close to all the local attractions.
