"Great gym (I could do almost everything I do at home in a chain gym! Only thing missing for fitness fans is a barbell weight station for squats, bench, deadlifts, etc). The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant was genuinely tasty. And it’s dog friendly! They even bring lovely raised food dishes, dog beds, and surprise treats!!"

"Très bel hôtel. L’emplacement près du bord du port est très pratique malgré le bruit des camions qui se dirige vers le port des 6 heures le matin. Très propre. Le restaurant adjacent à l’hôtel est très décevant. La piscine était non fonctionnel et quand j’ai réservé cela n’étais pas mentionné. Très décevant surtout que j’avais réservé cet hôtel à cause de la piscine intérieur."
