Wonderful stay by the sea

excellent breakfast helpful staff convenient location secure parking
I found the breakfast to be excellent, with a chef cooking it upon request. The staff were very helpful. They always showed consideration to every guest. I appreciated the location because it was so close to the shopping area.. it was also easily accessible to the harbour area. The secure inside parking was very convenient for my motorcycle.
I found the walls to be rather thin. I could clearly hear conversations from the next room.
