excellent locationfree parkinggood breakfastdark decorroom air conditioningoverpriced facilities

The hotel location IS excellent, near the harbor. The breakfast had lots of choices. Parking underground was free, a big plus.

The corridor decor to the room felt dark. The room air conditioning resets after some hours. I think the price is somewhat overpriced for facilities.
