"The hotel is located on the edge of the dock, so interesting and changing views , but not be quite what you expected if you booked an ‘ocean view’. The room Was nicely equipped with huge windows to look out over the city/docks. You’ll need to head out for dinner as the restaurant isn’t open in the evenings, but there’s lots of little venues within walking distance. If you’re searching for the hotel on Sat Nav it’s called La Valse - 2 words, not Lavalse as hotels.com has it down as"
