Many guests also alluded to room appointments as making a difference.

Hotel patrons typically found the staff at the hotel to be friendly and helpful. They were pleasant individuals who often put in an extra effort to ensure guest happiness, something that made a difference for several visitors.

The location of the hotel also made a difference to guests as it helped many of them find nearby shopping and services. Frequently guests said that they liked being near the casino and multiple guests said they appreciated the sheltered walkways that extended from the property to other parts of downtown. Some guests also liked being near the boardwalk as it was leisurely for strolling the waterfront.

Occasionally, guests said that the comfort of their rooms made a good impression. These guests frequently identified the beds as making a difference.

The Bad

Guests made positive comments about the property more often than they complained. However, guests that were not happy with their stay or aspects of it normally blamed something to do with the value they received for their money.

Frequently guests called this hotel's room rates "pricey" and the fact that the room rate did not include many extras was part of the problem. Guests thought that since they were paying an amount that they viewed to be significant that the room rate would have included services such as parking, Internet access, and breakfast.

There were some less common complaints that still stood out to a degree. For example, some guests complained about the view from their room which often looked squarely at a nearby building when they were expecting to see the harbour. Other guests thought that the hotel was noisy and blamed other guests at the hotel as the source.
