Absolutely fantastic stay!

delicious juicevarious breadselectric chargers
The hotel breakfast was amazing with fresh orange juice and a variety of breads. The hotel has charging stations for electric cars, which I thought was great. I relaxed in the seating area next to the pool. I loved that my room had a harbour view.
The pillows were firmer than I prefer.

good locationglass bottleclean roomhigh feebreakfast roomfull car park
the location was good for seeing the harbours. the room met my needs and was clean. i liked that they used a glass bottle with a refill station instead of plastic.
the car park seemed full and had a high fee. i paid a lot for my room for a few nights. the breakfast room had dogs, i found that unhygienic.

Mixed feelings about my stay

convenient locationsmall roomcomplicated parking
The hotel's location proved convenient, placing me near key attractions.
My room's size was QUITE disappointing. I also faced issues with parking. The exit process was excessively complicated. The lift system added unnecessary difficulty to moving around the hotel.
