decent hotel

amazing viewwide varietyold versionuncomfortable shower
our room had an amazing view and was comfortable. breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of items. they provided us a cot for our son.. he had his own bed.
the tv is an old version. you can't connect to anything like youtube. the shower area is uncomfortable and all over my bathroom is wet.. there is a swing glass door that you have to extend when you shower but it doesn't help.

delicious foodwarm smile
The breakfast food was fresh and hot, a delicious start to the day! The staff wished me a good day each time I headed out. They welcomed me back with a warm smile. The hotel kept everything very clean, an important detail to notice! The hotel was surprisingly quiet, especially considering its location opposite the harbor.
The room felt a little cramped, even with just a desk and two chairs, it didn't leave much space around the bed.
