harbour views and attentive service

warm staffclean atmosphereefficient servicerare find
The staff proved really good. They were warm, cute, and professional. the fresh, clean atmosphere impressed me. i appreciated the restaurant service, which i found both efficient and attentive. i thought the parking behind the hotel, a rare find, was a definite bonus.
i noticed one minor issue, a couple of light bulbs were out. the lighting wasn't great in the room, but it didn't detract significantly from the overall positive experience.
