Clean, well appointed room. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast in the morning is buffet and there are plenty of hot and cold choices that will suit nearly anyone. Another online reservation company cancelled my friend's 2 room reservations without telling them, so they showed up without a reservation. WatersEdge was almost completely booked, but was able to find the last 2 rooms for my companions to stay in that night. They went above and beyond. Room insulation was great, couldn't hear your neighbors or anyone walking down the hall. There is NO laundry service available unless you go up the street a way to a self-serve machine in a parking lot (kinda strange arrangement). Easy walking distance to the Titanic museum, plenty of food, coffee and pubs near by. Would stay here again.

Great location with a great restaurant attached. Very short walk in to town. Angela the front desk attendant was exceptional. We got a flat tire the morning we were to leave and she helped us in such a companionate way in a stressful situation. Highly recommend!

An old school hotel with great harm. Breakfast was excellent, plus our table looked out at the water. Room was “roomy” with plenty of space. Walkable to the train station which is next door. A terrific value.

Great Views and Location
This was a great location with large comfortable rooms and fabulous views. Service was excellent and the restaurant was also very good.
We were worried that the arrival of a cruise ship in front of the hotel in the morning would be noisy and disturbing, but it wasn’t an issue.
