Excellent Location and Comfortable Stay

waterfront viewlaundry facilitiessoft pillows
The pool has a waterfront view which is great. Laundry facilities are available, they were very useful. I especially liked the bar and restaurant upstairs because they had a view. The location is perfect, within easy walking distance to both the wharf and local shops..
The pillows in the room were too soft for my liking.

Acceptable Hotel with a Good Breakfast

full selectionhelpful staffmain roadmissing sealground floorparking spaces
The room was very clean. Breakfast was great I arrived in the dining room before the time was up and there was still a full selection of food available. The location was good right on the main road and a short walk from the Wharf. The reception staff were helpful and knowledgeable.
The shower door did not have a seal so the bathroom was flooded after every shower. The room was on the ground floor in a corner with parking spaces right outside the window. Everyone walked past and peered into the room. The laundry was right next door.
