Negative Reviews
negative:
Chilly
Though most guests didn't have a problem, several did complain about their rooms being too cold and poor heating, especially in the winter season.
negative:
Limited Hours
Most guests were disappointed that the onsite restaurant and bar closes quite early. Unfortunately, guests also noticed that there are limited dining options right next to the hotel but plenty can be found a short walk away.
negative:
Slanted Floors
Since the rooms are structured as they were during the ship's sailing days, you may find the floors in the room to be slanted. Originally designed to allow any water to easily drain out of the room, this aspect no longer serves its purpose. Many guests actually found it a bit annoying, as the beds are therefore positioned at an odd angle, making it awkward for sleeping.
