The shower in the master bedroom didn't work well, it was too hot. It leaked outside the screen making it hard to use. I wish someone had checked this. the hotel is close to a boat harbour, SO there was noise all night.

Several walkable dining places are close by, offering various cuisines. I recommend exploring local seafood restaurants. The Little Ship restaurant received a strong recommendation for steak. A chinese takeaway, The Ocean Bay, also delivers to the location.

i appreciated the on-site parking space. The apartment facilities included a well-equipped kitchen, very useful. i also liked the balcony, offering amazing views, ALL rooms having them facing the ocean.
i noticed some of the fixtures was somewhat budget-oriented, like the shower in the master bedroom which was difficult to use, giving too hot water and leaking outside the screen.
