Front desk staff are curt and don't seem to give a crap. A jug of cold water in the registration area would be nice. And I've never in my life had to sign a legal release that I won't sue the hotel if I get injured on their property even through no fault of my own. The gym is above average as is the pool area, and drink prices are reasonable.

Lovely place and the poolbar was great to be at while waiting for the room to be available. Check out was 10 am though..earlier than what was stated. The rooms are updated and the construction isn’t a concern. The pool is brand new and that area is newly renovated.

The view is amazing. The staff is awesome. The rebuilding and ongoing construction is very inconvenient and we couldnt figure out how to get around, back to the lobby, and since no food is available, maybe keep the snack shop open.

Nice clean hotel near town, restaurants and shoppi

Bluebeards Castle is a large peace of property with several different floors and buildings. Navagating it is like making your way through a labyrinth. Although my room was clean and it had a great view of the harbor it was difficult to find. There are many twisting stairways to navigate to the many facets of this hotel..

If everything worked, it would be a great hotel.

Pros: Most rooms on pirates pension have a great view. Central location.
Cons: Pool area needs refreshing. Rooms should be inspected to make sure everything works, before rooms are rented out. Staff could be more responsive.
Location: Great location- cruise ships/shopping/downtown all near by.
When we arrived, we had a very nice room, with a great view. We had to climb alot of stairs with our luggage, so that was difficult, but worth it for the view. The room we had was on the lowest level, and because of parking, that was the most stairs, since you went down to our room. Washer didn't work, and electric stove burnt our food...frig wabbled... So, after calling for service for days, (they came, but didn't fix), they finally moved us to another room. Again, on the lowest floor, and this time with no view. It had a bush right outside the patio. And, to make matters worse, the air conditioning didn't work. What really upset us was, the maintenance man told us that the room was supposed to be tagged for service, since the air had been out for awhile. Finally, we got the air conditioning fixed. I was told I would be refunded a day through travelocity for the inconvenience, but I doubt I ever see the refund. If all worked, it would have been great, because these rooms could be very nice and the views great.

Disappointing

We had stayed there before. This stay was in smaller room. No maid service. Sheets seem very worn. This facility has great views of harbor but no beach access. Has two restaurants on premises one which is very pricey. Still not bad value for price.
