The staff arranged transport quickly. the room provided soft white towels and free toiletries. breakfast included many choices with great service. i found the staff quite friendly. i will come again. parking spaces at the rear of the hotel were available. That helped a lot. the harbour location near shopping proved ideal.
the bar area had limited choices for drinks. a little more variety would enhance the experience. that is all.
