glass frontbay viewprofessional staff
The room was spacious. It had a glass front offering PERFECT views of the bay. Our evening meal was in that area. I found it much more relaxing than the dining room. The staff who checked us in were very professional.
The hotel bins are emptied VERY early in the morning and the noise is quite something.
