harbour view friendly staff delicious breakfast convenient location

we stayed in a Double Room Sea View. the harbour view WAS fantastic from our room. staff were really friendly EVERY morning and the breakfast included was delicious. I enjoyed the convenient location for accessing local amenities.

The windows in the room didn't open very well. It was a minor inconvenience, but i wish there were better airflow.
