8.4/10 Very Good! (419 reviews)

The hotel was in a good location and easily walkable to shops and restaurants. The staff was helpful and pleasant. Our room was clean and comfortable. However, we must have been directly above the kitchen because starting around 4:45 or 6 am we could hear the employees talking and making noise banging pans etc. It was impossible to sleep through. I would recommend the hotel but be sure to ask that you are not in the room Near the hotel kitchen.

The Waterfront is cute and conveniently located along the waterfront. Friendly staff with great recommendations nearby. Definitely try and visit Foxy John’s, Kennedy’s, or Dick Mack’s for a pint. And definitely drive the Slea Head loop.
