Charming Stay Near the Harbour
useful fridge hot water quality items superb dinner
The room featured tea and coffee facilities. A mini fridge was also available! High-quality items for the complimentary Continental breakfast were a nice extra touch. The bed was quite comfortable and the shower had good water pressure with plenty of hot water. I ate in the restaurant one evening, and the dinner was superb.
The room needed a small touch up in some areas.

mixed feelings about the stay
chipped paint thin walls
the restaurant was a highlight of my visit, and i really enjoyed the food they served.
My room felt quite outdated, and i noticed chipped paint in several places. also, the walls seemed thin. I could hear noises from other rooms, it wasnt a very peaceful experience. i thought the price was a bit high considering the condition of the facilities.

Acceptable stay with some issues
small room noisy machines
The staff were friendly.
The room was small. The bathroom was cramped. I could barely turn around in it. There was a kitchen vent right outside the window and some loud machines ran until midnight.
