amazing food lovely lunch dreary street few attractions
The food was AMAZING!!! I had lunch outside and the fish n chips were the BEST. The staff arranged for Kenny to show us the sites the next day. Breakfast was delicious in the morning.
There wasn't much nearby to wander around. This saddened my soul. The hotel is on a main street, and it felt dreary.

Adequate Stay
quiet waterfront friendly staff local store tight shower room update breakfast inclusion
The location met my expectations. The hotel is on a quiet waterfront road. I found every facility provided by friendly staff. A local store is situated nearby.
The shower was very tight. The room could use some updating. I discovered upon arrival that breakfast was not included despite my request.
