“The position is a clear win, right on the harbour, which makes exploring the local scene so straightforward. I appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of a fan in the room, a real bonus during warmer weather, and the staff were consistently helpful, particularly with luggage storage. While not a modern marvel, the value for money is undeniable, and the views can certainly be quite something.”
