My stay at Dock House was absolutely delightful! The personalized service made me feel right at home, and the beautiful decor and comfort of the room were standout features. The location was perfect for exploring the waterfront, though it was nice to retreat from the hustle and bustle after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast options were plentiful, providing both hot and cold choices, but the price might be high for some travelers. Overall, this hotel offers an exceptional experience in a stunning setting.

My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight! Nestled just a stone's throw away from the Waterfront, it provides an ideal blend of convenience and tranquility. The spacious and stylish rooms offered a lovely retreat after a long day of exploring. The service was exceptional, with staff genuinely dedicated to making my experience memorable. However, I did miss having dining options on-site, as breakfast was served at a nearby sister hotel. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a few minor drawbacks, particularly the lack of on-site dining.

My stay at the Dock House was a mix of luxury and challenges. The accommodations were exceptional and the staff truly made the experience memorable. I loved the stunning views and the beautifully curated breakfast. However, the noise from the bars nearby at night was a significant downside, affecting my sleep. Overall, if you can handle a bit of nighttime noise, this hotel offers a unique and upscale experience.
