Really good Stay

warm welcomedelicious steaktasty breakfastlow pressure
The staff provided a warm welcome. I enjoyed dinner at the hotel restaurant. The steak was amazing and delicious. It was fun watching the steak being cut and then chargrilled. Breakfast was tasty and the service was very good.
The water pressure in the shower was not optimal. It initially produced only a dribble of water, inconvenient.

non-functioning televisionrestrictive timeframe
The television in the room did not function. I also found the breakfast arrangements quite restrictive. The limited timeframe of 8:30 to 9:00 am felt rather inflexible. I prefer to have a more relaxed start to the day (especially when on vacation). We ended up missing breakfast on one morning, a disappointing start to the day.

The breakfast was excellent, cooked freshly. The location is IDEAL near the harbor. The hotel remained clean throughout and provided comfort.
The shower tray did not drain. This presented a risk of flooding the bathroom. The TV was the size of a small laptop and did not work at all.
