I found free parking very convenient. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile.
The black out blinds allowed sun to enter the room constantly. The breakfast was mediocre, sadly it did not meet my expectations.

a good experience near the harbour

great locationhelpful staffspacious roommany options
The hotel had a great location near the harbor, a detail i appreciated. staff offered helpful advice. They told me i could leave my car while i went on a whale watching tour. our room felt spacious and was comfortable, so we were very happy. the breakfast bar had many options. I found what i needed.
i noticed the rooms seem a bit outdated. it wasn't a huge issue, but the decor didn't quite match the price point in my opinion.
