great locationlimited wardrobe spacebasic room
the location was acceptable, right at the marina.
I was disappointed with the room. It lacked basic amenities such as coffee or tea facilities. there was no iron or ironing board available, and the wardrobe space was limited. the room felt very basic considering the price i paid.. it really did.
